Revisiting the memory and lasting consequences of her brother's murder, L pez traces the course of the bullet--its trajectory, impact, wreckage--in lyrical narrative poems that are haunting and raw with emotion, yet tender and alive in revelations of light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on migratory experiences, L pez transports the reader to the Inland Empire, Baja California, New Mexico, and Arizona to create a frame for memory, filled with imagery, through the cyclical but changing essence of sorrow. This is paralleled with surrounding environments, our sense of belonging--on her family's porch, or in her grandfather's orange grove, or in the darkest desert. L pez's landscapes are geographical markers and borders, connecting shared experiences and memories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrother Bullet\u003c\/i\u003e tugs and pulls, drawing us into a consciousness--a story--we all bear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816538522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Casandra L\u0026#243;pez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644696883356,"sku":"9780816538522","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f3979bcf-60b7-486c-8e3d-695715066086.jpg?v=1603859242","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brother-bullet-volume-84-poems-9780816538522","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
