Bøker av Michelle Otero

Between bodies and language. Between artist and survivor. Between aquí y allá. Straddling sacred spaces, Chicanx writer Michelle Otero claims deep roots in a mestiza landscape. Through memory, poems, dreams, and letters, Vessels: A Memoir of Borders is a mythical journey celebrating "Herencia" and "Ritual" as the presence of the past-her own as well as that of her ancestors. She evokes a deep sense of intentional healing while embracing and disrupting relationships. Recounting the vital lessons of her traumas with an open heart, she shapes a profound memoir as an offering for us to witness our own prayers. --Richard Yañez, author of El Paso del Norte: Stories on the Border
