Lotería

Resumen del Libro

Libro Lotería

The vision begins with a river. From this river, you can see a village, marine life, and ancestral rituals. It is here that you recognize origins, and a poison beginning to spread through paradise. Suddenly, a premonition: a wounded animal. The certainty of war cries. What you take with you is what you become, each movement a gamble, a lottery of life that transforms you until this moment, when uncertainty becomes an ally. Lotería: Nocturnal Sweepstakes is a collection of deeply evocative coming-of-age poems that take the reader on a voyage through the intimate experiences of displacement. Conjuring dreamlike visions of extravagant fruits and rivers animated by the power of divination, these poems follow the speaker from the lash of war’s arrival through an urgent escape and reinvention in a land that saves with maternal instinct but also smothers its children. In this bilingual collection, Colombian American poet Elizabeth Torres threads together the stories of family dynamics and the realities of migration with the archetypes of tarot and the traditional Lotería game, used for centuries as an object of divination and entertainment. Through these themes and images, the poems in Lotería narrate intimate moments in the lives and journeys of migrants, refugees, and all who have been forced into metamorphosis in order to reach the other side of the river.

Alauda. Poemas Dos mujeres - con la misma y distinta voz -, nos hablan en primera y tercera persona; mujeres que se afirman en su recio decir y alzan su canto en nombre de todas las mujeres de asumido silencio o silenciadas. El espíritu femenino, posee el don de descifrar cuánta soledad sola, habita o deshabita una casa - propia o ajena -; sabe tejer o remendar un pensamiento; pulir o avivar un objeto; abrir o cerrar una puerta, como se abre o se cierra una pena - propia o ajena -. Porque toda mujer es su propia casa; es una caracola, con sus abismos y escaleras sin fin.
