Felicia Zamora explores how familial history echoes inside a person and the ghosts of lineage dwell in a body. Sometimes we haunt. Sometimes we are the haunted. Pierced by an estranged relationship to Mexican culture, the ethereal ache of an unknown father, the weight of racism and poverty in this country, the indentations of abuse, and a mind\/physicality affected by doubt, these poems root in the search for belonging.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50031960424721,"sku":"CIN1609387767G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039581045009,"sku":"NIN9781609387761","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1609387767.jpg?v=1751213995"},{"product_id":"of-form-gather-book-felicia-zamora-9780268101787","title":"Of Form \u0026 Gather","description":"Of Form \u0026amp; Gather marks the dazzling debut of Felicia Zamora, whose poems concern themselves with probing questions, not facile answers. Where does the self reside? What forms do we, as human beings, inhabit as we experience the world around us? Echoing the collection's provocative title, final judge Edwin Torres writes: \"Zamora has crafted a work that celebrates form as human evolution—the poem's breath, the poet's body—passing over time in a landscape thirsty for passage.\" Privileging journey over destination, Zamora's poems spur the reader to immerse herself in linguistic soundscapes where the physicality of the poems themselves is, in no small part, the point: poems that challenge us to navigate the word\/world as both humans and things. Edwin Torres continues: \"This is quietly revolutionary work. . . . A living palimpsest to newly awaken our social engagement.\" With the publication of this volume, the Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize, now in its seventh edition, emphatically makes good on its aim to nurture the various paths that Latino\/a poetry is taking in the twenty-first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347638325521,"sku":"CIN0268101787G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000579195153,"sku":"NIN9780268101787","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0268101787.jpg?v=1777112272"},{"product_id":"body-of-render-book-felicia-zamora-9781597099752","title":"Body of Render","description":"Body of Render explores the internal and external impacts on our humanity when political, national, and societal decisions strip away our basic human rights. What does it mean to be an underrepresented individual in a country where the most powerful seat in the land unashamedly perpetuates racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and classist behaviors? The voices document a journey before and after the last presidential election. These poems cry out for reconsideration of our broken systems to find common and safe ground rooted in equitable treatment of each other as human beings. How do we exude love when being a person of color or underrepresented person in this country means the dominate white-male-able-bodied-heterosexual narrative continues to threaten our voices? This collection carves at the physical, the political, the intimate, and the structural with poems that simultaneously create and encourage voice to seek a path toward collective mending.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393845367057,"sku":"CIN1597099759G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038367351057,"sku":"NIN9781597099752","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52676111958289,"sku":"NLS9781597099752","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1597099759.jpg?v=1750862753"},{"product_id":"in-open-marvel-book-felicia-zamora-9781602359840","title":"\u0026 in Open, Marvel","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith taut attention, Felicia Zamora witnesses wonders that would break open a heart.

Revisiting her childhood as a Latina living in poverty in the United States, Zamora explores racial trauma, estrangement from inherited culture and language, and the instinct to retreat into the body as a space of understanding. Grounded in the specificity of her history, her body, and her life, these poems find the universal threads that connect hummingbirds to whales, Galapagos tortoises to Matt Groening cartoons, family photographs to joy and heartache.    Zamora scavenges her past and America’s present for the hidden meanings at the borders of the social and environmental, linguistic and physical, familial and personal. Along the way she enters into conversations with other poets, activists, and scholars, seeking wisdom, tracing wounds, and amplifying the voices of the marginalized, ultimately creating a space to constellate radical imagination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51595287626001,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51595287757073,"sku":"NGR9780299353445","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51595287822609,"sku":"NIN9780299353445","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0299353443.jpg?v=1751448866"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-felicia-zamora.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
