 Floaters: Poems【電子書籍】[ Mart?n Espada ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**Winner of the 2021 National Book Award for Poetry＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize come masterfully crafted narratives of protest, grief and love.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mart?n Espada is a poet who "stirs in us an undeniable social consciousness," says Richard Blanco. ＜em＞Floaters＜/em＞ offers exuberant odes and defiant elegies, songs of protest and songs of love from one of the essential voices in American poetry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Floaters＜/em＞ takes its title from a term used by certain Border Patrol agents to describe migrants who drown trying to cross over. The title poem responds to the viral photograph of ?scar and Valeria, a Salvadoran father and daughter who drowned in the R?o Grande, and allegations posted in the "I’m 10-15" Border Patrol Facebook group that the photo was faked. Espada bears eloquent witness to confrontations with anti-immigrant bigotry as a tenant lawyer years ago, and now sings the praises of Central American adolescents kicking soccer balls over a barbed wire fence in an internment camp founded on that same bigotry. He also knows that times of hate call for poems of loveーeven in the voice of a cantankerous Gal?pagos tortoise.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The collection ranges from historical epic to achingly personal lyrics about growing up, the baseball that drops from the sky and smacks Espada in the eye as he contemplates a girl’s gently racist question.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether celebrating the visionariesーthe fallen dreamers, rebels and poetsーor condemning the outrageous governmental neglect of his father’s Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Mar?a, Espada invokes ferocious, incandescent spirits.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,704円 |
