Reckoning with death through the lens of Buddhist ideology, the speaker technicolors her world: a blue-green whiptail lizard reproduces through parthenogenesis, golden oil glistens in petrichor, even the morphine in a grandmother's IV takes on a kaleidoscopic sheen. Henry engages texts from 1970's electronica to molcajetes and tejolotes this intersectional, eco-feminist exploration of the body and the soul, their limits, and their excesses. In her formally inventive and full-throated debut, Henry sings of the liminal, of the \"soul separating from skin,\" of words that are \"useful as bones.\" The speaker names what she sees and lets it go. She never tells anyone that she's time travelling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bauhan Pub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780872333987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Marcy Rae Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51474258854069,"sku":"9780872333987","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e6a62614-5328-46dd-a623-9a7e641fbcb1.jpg?v=1754405452","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/death-is-a-mariachi-poems-9780872333987","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
