Featured in separate sections, original Spanish poems and Robin Myers' English translations highlight tender ruminations on loss, memory, and communion. Just as landscapes witness and \"preserve what happens along the length of them,\" so do people. We watch as travelers navigate realms between the living and the dead, past mountains and dried up rivers to map, trace, and remember the past and future. Several sections, each bearing the title \"What Comes Back,\" guide readers on a looping voyage where they are \"orbited around the gravity of what had come to be\"--the absence of Mexico City's rivers, and other absences wrought by war, climate change, and forced migration. Rattled between ecological destruction and human violence, \u003ci\u003eWhat Comes Back\u003c\/i\u003e, what remains, is a desire to name the missing, to render belonging out of dispossession, endurance out of erasure--the spiritual urge toward connection and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556596841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Javier Pe\u0026#241;alosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43733071003829,"sku":"9781556596841","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9a962576-c20c-4e89-b6e3-99723940cf34.jpg?v=1710258106","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-comes-back-9781556596841","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
