I Offer My Heart as a Target / Ofrezco Mi Corazã3n Como Una Diana

By Johanny Vázquez Paz

"Winner of the Paz Prize for Poetry, this dual-language book explores perseverance and survival in the face of violence, displacement, and defeat." --Publishers Weekly

"In this bilingual edition (superbly translated from the Spanish by Lawrence Schimel) Puerto Rican poet V zquez Paz grapples with the violence against the psyche . . . and with the violence of displacement . . . These poems are a celebration of female strength and imagination: 'I am a woman: I endure much/ but the day is short.'"--NBC Latino, one of the Best Latino Books of 2019
