Description
About the Book
"At nineteen, Natasha Trethewey felt her world crumble when her stepfather killed her mother with two bullets. With penetrating acuity and a passionate voice, Trethewey, a Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry, delves in this dazzling work -- her first in prose--into the unfathomable experience of loss and recalls the brutal event that lastingly shaped the great author into whom was later converted. Through the narration of the abuse suffered by both of her, she tries to understand the tragic fate of her mother, she also makes us travel to the place where she lived during her childhood, in the southern United States. . Trethewey offers us a beautiful work of great poetic force, a story that delves into the abysses of personal history and the history of a country to reveal a pain that extends to the present. This is a captivating, beautiful, brave and devastating book."--About the Author
Natasha Trethewey (1966, Gulfport, Misisipi). Ganadora del Premio Pulitzer de Poesía en 2007 por su obra «Guardia nativa» (Bartleby, 2009), fue elegida por el director de la Biblioteca del Congreso como Poeta Laureada de Estados Unidos tanto en 2012 como en 2013. Es miembro de dos academias literarias esenciales en su país: la Academia Estadounidense de Artes y Ciencias y la Academia de Poetas Estadounidenses. En su nombramiento, el canciller de la Academia de Poetas Estadounidenses, David St. John, dijo que Trethewey «es una de nuestras maestras formales, una poeta de exquisita delicadeza y aplomo que revela una y otra vez las desigualdades raciales e históricas de nuestro país y la huella indeleble de estas injusticias. Rara vez alguna intersección poética de la experiencia cultural y personal se ha hecho sentir de manera más inevitable, más dolorosa o profunda».Dimensions (Overall): 8.49 Inches (H) x 5.55 Inches (W) x .7 Inches (D)
