{"product_id":"raven-eye-margo-tamez-9780816525652","title":"Raven Eye: Volume 60","description":"Written from thirteen years of journals, psychic and earthly, this poetry maps an uprising of a borderland indigenous woman battling forces of racism and sexual violence against Native women and children. This lyric collection breaks new ground, skillfully revealing an unseen narrative of resistance on the Mexico-U.S. border. A powerful blend of the oral and long poem, and speaking into the realm of global movements, these poems explore environmental injustice, sexualized violence, and indigenous women's lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These complex and necessary themes are at the heart of award-winning poet Margo Tamez's second book of poetry. Her poems bring forth experiences of a raced and gendered life along the border. Tamez engages the experiences of an indigenous life, refusing labels of Mexican or Native American as social constructs of a colonized people. This book is a challenging cartography of colonialism, poverty, and issues of Native identity and demonstrates these as threats to the environment, both ecological and social, in the borderlands. Each poem is crafted as if it were a minute prayer, dense with compassion and unerring optimism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But the hope that Tamez serves is not blind. In poem after poem, she draws us into a space ruled by mythic symbolism and the ebb and flow of the landscape--a place where comfort is compromised and where we must work to relearn the nature of existence and the value of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margo Tamez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081652565X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816525652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 6.04w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e WILLA Literary Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2007 pg. 16","brand":"Margo Tamez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072024920319,"sku":"9780816525652","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc6bc1c3-a453-4592-a3fc-aa6dbfbd31d2.jpg?v=1753415589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raven-eye-margo-tamez-9780816525652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
