It is this other landscape, as invisible as poetry before it is written down but etched by history and animated by the collective memory of a people, that speaks through Pablo Antonio Cuadra's Seven \u003ci\u003eTrees against the Dying Light\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Storing experience as they exist, these tree-poems conserve local soil and memory in the place they inhabit. They are figures of life, stained by seawater and gun powder, by the bright red, bittersweet juice of the many life-giving plums that flourish in Nicaragua, and blood that has been spilled there. And they offer a way of remembering who we are, where we come from, and, above all, where we are bound if we cannot learn to root language in the earth that sustains us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Printed here in Spanish with facing English translations, the edition includes an introduction with ecocritical focus, as well as complete notes on botanical, historical, mythological, and socio-political references.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Antonio Cuadra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810124742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810124745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.31w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2008 pg. 53","brand":"Pablo Antonio Cuadra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890600472831,"sku":"9780810124745","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b95548d9-4567-408e-b0d2-3f0959990e74.jpg?v=1709739495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seven-trees-against-the-dying-pablo-antonio-cuadra-9780810124745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
