If We Have Lost Our Oldest Tales

By María Baranda

This long poem, If We Have Lost Our Oldest Tales, bears testament to Maria Baranda's remarkable ability to transform myth, history and ritual into poetry. She cleverly exploits the universality inherent in creation myths from various traditions, and in this way, captures the syncretism - the blending without loss of either tradition - of Western and indigenous cultures in the Americas.
