This collection is about place and many of the poems in it are set in the desert southwest on the U.S.\/Mexico border in El Paso, Texas. Sheryl Luna's poems are also about family and home within the broader context of the border as both a bridge and a barrier. They deal with the bilingual and bicultural city and how a place is longed for and viewed very differently as the observer changes and experiences other cultures. \u003cp\u003eThe first two sections of poems focus on home and family. They show that, despite poverty and geographical isolation, the border towns of El Paso and Ciudad Ju rez are places of beauty and promise. The third section explores cultures: how anxiety over aesthetic judgments, values, and difference are negotiated. The final section is one of praise and recognition that despite differences we are all longing for faith and a place to call home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheryl Luna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268033730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268033736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 1 - Recommended\/Special Interest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheryl Luna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057296240895,"sku":"9780268033736","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_628c0271-dcb2-45c9-9a83-65826399c20b.jpg?v=1685046154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pity-the-drowned-horses-sheryl-luna-9780268033736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
