Aprašymas

The poems in this debut collection are strung together by an eventful survival narrative that resists assimilation and draws from Indigenous roots and nostalgia for place. Set in Mexico-Tenochtitlan and border towns, these poems address the lingering effects of historical invasions and displacement from one's homeland through the intimate lens of family estrangement, fragmentation and the resultant grief. Luz Schweig negotiates the tension between native and immigrant experiences by weaving Spanish and Nahuatl words into English verse that, ultimately and joyfully, celebrates identity complexities and ancestry beyond generational trauma.
