{"product_id":"lotera-poems-9781680033229","title":"Lotería: Poems","description":"A traditional game of chance popular in Mexico and in Mexican American culture, \u003ci\u003eLotería\u003c\/i\u003e is poetically rendered in Esteban Rodríguez's eighth collection, with each poem revolving around one of the fifty-four cards. Using the image presented as a catalyst for exploration and self-reflection, Rodríguez unveils the familial journey between two countries and cultures through both a surreal and narrative lens. Here, a mother unearths a severed hand in the desert. A father discovers his heart among a heap of discarded items. And at one point, the speaker--toggling between his role as witness and son--finds himself in a canoe on a river contemplating the meaning behind an authentic experience. Lyrical, insightful, and honestly engaging, \u003ci\u003eLotería\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on a world that doesn't so easily reveal itself, adding to Rodríguez's prolific and important oeuvre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Sabine Series in Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680033229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs","brand":"Esteban Rodriguez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124488929461,"sku":"9781680033229","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_493c2233-3592-4dc3-aa26-2d9d9f749207.jpg?v=1694553104","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lotera-poems-9781680033229","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
