The histories of South Texas and its people unfold in Laurie Ann Guerrero's stirring language, including the dehumanization of men and its consequences on women and children. Guerrero's tongue becomes a palpable border, occupying those liminal spaces that both unite and divide, inviting readers to consider that which is known and unknown: the body. Guerrero explores not just the right, but the ability to speak and fight for oneself, one's children, one's community--in poems that testify how, too often, we fail to see the power reflected in the mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Ann Guerrero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268204006","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713586139273,"sku":"9780268204006","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f9d4caaa-3d22-47d8-8369-f67f8b88b3a7.jpg?v=1719616661","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/a-tongue-in-the-mouth-of-the-dying-9780268204006","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
