Rodrigo Toscano calls Vicu a's poetry the outer out, beyond nation states, passed 'inter state' affairs, in other words, close in, as close as we get to our fair planet's sources, and to each other. In this bilingual collection, Vicu a and her translator, Rosa Alcal , are artist witnesses to a natural world that is a storehouse of sacred words, seeds, threads and songs. Present everywhere, they are sources for a rebalancing in human relationships and for new forms of grace and healing. In Vicu a's vision, art is life and intimacy with it is transformative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366917935377,"sku":"CIN0932716873G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51716451172625,"sku":"CIN0932716873VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53102090486033,"sku":"GOR014741299","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0932716873.jpg?v=1751266063"},{"product_id":"cecilia-vicuna-deer-book-book-cecilia-vicuna-9781955161114","title":"Cecilia Vicuna: Deer Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fruition of decades of labor, Vicuña's poetical works on the cosmologies and myths of the deer are now realized in a gorgeously designed artist's book\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspired initially by Jerome Rothenberg's translation \u003ci\u003eFlower World Variations\u003c\/i\u003e, which Cecilia Vicuña (born 1948) first encountered in 1985, \u003ci\u003eCecilia Vicuña: Deer Book\u003c\/i\u003e brings together nearly 40 years of the artist's poetry, \"poethical\" translations and drawings related to cosmologies and mythologies surrounding the deer, and sacrificial dance in cultures around the world.

Taken as inspiration rather than conundrum, the impossibility of translation opens up poetic possibilities for Vicuña as she continues her lifelong exploration into the nature of communication across eras and distant lands, languages and shared symbols within Indigenous spiritualities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50371962732817,"sku":"NGR9781955161114","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50747799175441,"sku":"GOR014057067","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51061404893457,"sku":"NIN9781955161114","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141131661585,"sku":"NLS9781955161114","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1955161119.jpg?v=1751030012"},{"product_id":"cloud-net-book-cecilia-vicuna-9781883967109","title":"Cloud-net","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50469789794577,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469791629585,"sku":"CIN1883967104G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1883967104.jpg?v=1751123719"},{"product_id":"saborami-book-cecilia-vicuna-9781930068506","title":"Saborami","description":"Poetry.

It is filled with the urgent hope that art, too, can change history. Put together when Vicu a was just twenty-five years old, the poems, paintings, and objects of SABORAMI enact a complex and multidimensional conversation. The meanings of the works (which were created over a seven year period) shifted radically after the events of September 11, 1973. Their meanings continue to shift and resonate in light of political events today. This recreation of the original SABORAMI is published with a new afterword Vicu a wrote especially for this edition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51196673360145,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51196673949969,"sku":"GOR010987374","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1930068506.jpg?v=1751061707"},{"product_id":"saborami-book-cecilia-vicuna-9781912570270","title":"Saborami","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51320845140241,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51320845631761,"sku":"NGR9781912570270","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1912570270.jpg?v=1751315432"},{"product_id":"instan-book-cecilia-vicuna-9780932716507","title":"Instan","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51334141477137,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51334143607057,"sku":"CIN0932716504G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0932716504.jpg?v=1751140697"},{"product_id":"spit-temple-book-cecilia-vicuna-9781937027032","title":"Spit Temple","description":"Poetry\/Performance.

In this artist's book, Chilean-born artist and poet Cecilia Vicuña weaves personal and ancestral memory while summoning the collective power to confront the economic disparities and environmental crises of the 21st century.  Collecting the detritus that washes up on shore, Vicuña assembles out of the refuse tiny precarios and basuritas—little sculptures held together with nothing more than string and wire, which she sometimes makes as offerings to be reclaimed by the sea.  About to Happen traces a decades-long practice that has refused categorical distinctions and thrived within the confluences of conceptual art, land art, feminist art, performance and poetry. Vicuña's nuanced visual poetics—operating fluidly between concept and craft, text and textile—transforms the discarded into the elemental, paying acute attention to the displaced, the marginalized and the forgotten.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141670105361,"sku":"NLS9781938221231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53084134146321,"sku":"NIN9781938221231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781938221231.jpg?v=1757577867"},{"product_id":"cecilia-vicuna-word-weapons-book-cecilia-vicuna-9798986781204","title":"Cecilia Vicuña: Word Weapons","description":"At once poetry, art and activism, Vicuña’s playful multimedia works \"open up minds by opening up words\"  This beautifully designed clothbound book brings together the Palabrarmas series by the Chilean-born artist, poet and activist Cecilia Vicuña (born 1948). Images of these works—each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics—appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. Palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to \"word weapons\" or \"word arms,\" imagine new ways of seeing language. Taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, Vicuña’s Palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism and visual art. Each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge. The artist began making these visual anagrams while in exile in London and Bogotá after the Pinochet-led coup of 1973 in Chile, and has always seen them as a form of liberation—as a way to \"open up minds by opening up words,\" as she puts it. The Palabarmas have taken on new relevance in today’s political climate, and appeared on the streets during Chile’s 2019 revolution as protest signs. This book presents a range of Palabrarmas in color for the first time, with new essays by Mónica de la Torre, Carla Macchiavello, Cecilia Vicuña and Jeanne Gerrity, and reprinted texts by René Daumal, Robert Randall and Simón Rodríguez.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53635623452945,"sku":"NLS9798986781204","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53666687680785,"sku":"NIN9798986781204","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798986781204.jpg?v=1780997419"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-cecilia-vicuna.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
