This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where she's establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And \u003cem\u003eTidal Waters\u003c\/em\u003e is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913867768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Velia Vidal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44145862836405,"sku":"9781913867768","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7683e797-08e6-4254-9b52-d17e23460153.jpg?v=1715698540","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tidal-waters-9781913867768","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
