Arsenal with Praise Song (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949039139)

Rodney G mez's Arsenal With Praise Songsomehow manages to yoke together lament and celebration, reproach and veneration across the borders of eras and nations. Set in the stark desert landscape of the M xico-U.S. border all too familiar to so many refugees and migrants, these poems scrutinize human bodies and the body of the earth as the sites of great injustices and violences--political, social, and spiritual--and as the vehicles that carry our collective legacy generation to generation.
