Synopsis "Bougainvillea"
Poetry. Latinx Studies. Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña's BOUGAINVILLEA is full of the light and vibrant color of the vine, as well as the joy and suffering of the arid places where it grows. Her poetry is infused with intelligence, philosophical rigor, and deep familial and spousal love entwined with themes of exile, displacement, and identity. Her unflinching eye paints the land-and-cityscape of Las Vegas: Every person...wonders / In their native language, how to cross without waiting. This is the book we need right now when human rights atrocities against Latinx people are committed in our name. Quiñones-Zaldaña's world is exquisitely lovely and loving, making the grief of being disenfranchised personal. She reaches out to us all, teaches us how swiftly those considered others can become you, and how to be with each other no matter what: Should you find yourself / Sojourner, dispossessed / Of a common language / In cities of hostile observance / Or among their milder companions // I am with you.
