OverviewThe poems in Noelia Cerna's beautiful, debut poetry collection, Las Piedrecitas, sing. They sing in English and Spanish; they sing of her childhood and Nicaraguan heritage; they sing of brown bodies and immigrant hands thickened by work and struggle; they sing of hope and redemption and survival. Cerna's poetry does not warble, it projects in an unflinching voice that tackles themes such as prescribed gender roles, addiction, domestic violence, familial estrangement and racism in a country where "" whiteness requires you to fold to the point of breaking."" These poems proclaim their truth in an indignant chorus that refuses to fold, refuses to break, and refuses to stay silent for one more minute. -- Caridad Moro-Gronlier, author of Tortillera and Visionware Full Product DetailsAuthor: Noelia CernaPublisher: Nomadic Imprint: Nomadic ISBN: 9781625570864ISBN 10: 1625570864 Pages: 124 Publication Date: 30 July 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
