Lugar De Origen/Place of Origin [Spanish]

By Elena Lafert and Melina Draper

Poetry. Bilingual Spanish-English text. Winner of the 2009 International Latino Book Award for Best Bilingual Poetry Book. "Argentinean poet Elena, and Melina, writing from Alaska, represent the antipodes of a mother-daughter relationship. Yet their poems resonate with the intimate interplay and harmonic counterpoint of a Bach two-part Invention.... Born from a loving collaboration, PLACE OF ORIGIN is a lovely, singular book"--Julia Older. "A tender and savage book, mother and daughter speaking to one another, to history, and to us through the flexible lineage of language, mother tongue and daughter tongue, translating image and time in a beautiful collection"--Derick Burleson.
