商品簡介
"Juan Felipe Hererra’s writing fuses wide-ranging experimentalism with reflections on Mexican-American identity . . ."The New York Times
In 40 cantos, the poet explores the metaphysical relationship between Frida Kahlo, her art, her broken body, and cross-border consciousness. First published in 1994, this early workhis sixth book reveals a deep sense of longing for all to be made whole again in spite of fracturesphysical, metaphorical, culturalbestowed by the world.
From "Prologue: A Second Body":
Think on the time it takes a scar to heal,
a river to rise an old woman to regain the tumbling
powers of her busted arms a young woman (calling
herself Frida) to re-structure her shattered vertebrae, to
be caught up with a body-cast, a second body which she
inhabits for the rest of her life; this is precious to me,
that is all.
She painted herself somewhere in-between Mexico and
the United States in the open space of the jaws; between
the mandibles of the jaguar and the nuclear turbine.
It is the healing of this metaphysical fracture too (which
may invoke further breakage) that concerns me.
