{"product_id":"querida-poems-9780822948377","title":"Querida: Poems","description":"\u003ci\u003eQuerida\u003c\/i\u003e offers a place-based lyrical meditation on the poet's immigrant parents, collective memory, language, and family in the San Fernando region of Los Angeles, California. Through a constellation of interweaving persona poems, confessional reflections, imagistic portraits of people and places, and decolonial poetic rituals--braided with a crown of sonnets--a choir of speakers navigate the fraught inheritance of memory frayed by the generational trauma of migration, coloniality, and the exploitative labor of late-stage capitalism. Swaying between maximalist and carnivalesque textual decadence and sparse, brutalist, bilingual inquiries into language as yet another exploitative and extractive tool for control, these poems honor familial and community wisdom as the only way to survive the steadily destabilizing Capitalocene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan Xavier Osorio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Pitt Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 6.04w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822948377","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42948511760521,"sku":"9780822948377","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_6e944192-14fe-443e-9657-3e102e98b52f.jpg?v=1725341967","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/querida-poems-9780822948377","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
