Synopsis
Says Javier Zamora, "I think in the United States we forget that writing and carrying the banner of 'being a poet' is tied into a long history of people who have literally risked [their lives] and died to write those words." Zamora's debut cradles within it a family's risky song of longing and love for a country torn apart by war and gang violence. These poems recall and are rooted in the experiences of a nine-year-old boy traveling alone for thousands of miles and confronting everywhere the realities of borderland politics, racism, and economic injustice. Calling into question the concept of the American Dream, Zamora reimagines home, fusing music and memory to address the quandaries that tear families apart and-if we're lucky - inspire the building of lives anew. Book jacket., New York Times Bestselling Author of Solito "Every line resonates with a wind that crosses oceans."-- Jamaal May "Zamora's work is real life turned into myth and myth made real life." -- Glappitnova Javier Zamora was nine years old when he traveled unaccompanied 4,000 miles, across multiple borders, from El Salvador to the United States to be reunited with his parents. This dramatic and hope-filled poetry debut humanizes the highly charged and polarizing rhetoric of border-crossing; assesses borderland politics, race, and immigration on a profoundly personal level; and simultaneously remembers and imagines a birth country that's been left behind. Through an unflinching gaze, plainspoken diction, and a combination of Spanish and English, Unaccompanied crosses rugged terrain where families are lost and reunited, coyotes lead migrants astray, and "the thin white man let us drink from a hose / while pointing his shotgun." From "Let Me Try Again": He knew we weren't Mexican. He must've remembered his family coming over the border, or the border coming over them, because he drove us to the border and told us next time, rest at least five days, don't trust anyone calling themselves coyotes, bring more tortillas, sardines, Alhambra. He knew we would try again. And again--like everyone does. Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. He earned a BA at UC-Berkeley, an MFA at New York University, and is a 2016-2018 Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University., "Every line resonates with a wind that crosses oceans."--Jamaal May "Zamora's work is real life turned into myth and myth made real life." -- Glappitnova Javier Zamora was nine years old when he traveled unaccompanied 4,000 miles, across multiple borders, from El Salvador to the United States to be reunited with his parents.

- s***e (45)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book, "The Unbreakable Brain," is better than "as described". It looks like a brand new, unused book in excellent condition, which makes it a super value for the cost. It was shipped in a protective package with free shipping, yet another super value! I am incredibly pleased with this seller, and they even sent me a coupon to buy four and get two books free. That's a fantastic gift and quite generous! Thank you for being an excellent seller!
- 4***4 (3230)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufFast seller shipping & received in less than a week. Well packed & protected in a sturdy box with 11 other books I ordered. The book, "The Ultimate Ocean Facts for Kids, Teens & Adults" is a soft bound chapter book that asks questions, gives interesting facts, & encourages additional reading. As described, the book will be perfect to spark interest in the classroom. Great eBay find & purchase at a super value price. Highly recommend this seller.
- 2***0 (320)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExactly what I needed. As described. Fast shipping and arrived safely. Outer packaging sustained damage (multiple holes into the package), but fortunately no damage. If you don’t hate the USPS yet, just wait. Great value, significantly less than similar options on Amazon. Purchased for Christmas present. We are going on our trip of a lifetime next spring. Thank you for being a part of our adventures. Happy customer!
