{"product_id":"lotera-esteban-rodriguez-9781680033229","title":"Loter?: Poems","description":"A traditional game of chance popular in Mexico and in Mexican American culture, \u003ci\u003eLoter?\u003c\/i\u003e is poetically rendered in Esteban Rodr?uez's eighth collection, with each poem revolving around one of the fifty-four cards. Using the image presented as a catalyst for exploration and self-reflection, Rodr?uez unveils the familial journey between two countries and cultures through both a surreal and narrative lens. Here, a mother unearths a severed hand in the desert. A father discovers his heart among a heap of discarded items. And at one point, the speaker--toggling between his role as witness and son--finds himself in a canoe on a river contemplating the meaning behind an authentic experience. Lyrical, insightful, and honestly engaging, \u003ci\u003eLoter?\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on a world that doesn't so easily reveal itself, adding to Rodr?uez's prolific and important oeuvre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Sabine Series in Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esteban Rodr?uez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680033220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680033229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.30w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2023","brand":"Esteban Rodr?uez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213075706111,"sku":"9781680033229","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bdac7f5-a49f-4e0c-a6ca-1f58017068fd.jpg?v=1692111934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lotera-esteban-rodriguez-9781680033229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
