Imaniman: Poets Writing in the Anzalduan Borderlands

Más información sobre el libro

In homage to Gloria Anzaldúa and her iconic work Borderlands/La Frontera, award-winning poets ire'ne lara silva and Dan Vera have assembled the work of 54 writers who reflect on the complex terrain-the deeply felt psychic, social, and geopolitical borderlands-that Anzaldúa inhabited, theorized, explored, and invented. Named for the Nahuail word meaning "their soul," Imaniman presents work that is sparked from the soul: the individual soul, the communal soul. These poets interrogate, complicate, and personalize the borderlands in transgressive and transformative ways, opening new paths and revisioning old ones for the next generation of spiritual, political, and cultural border crossers.
