Seller Description
"There has to my mind never been a project quite like this: A collective body of poetry--and women's poetry at that--coming directly out of an indigenous culture and gathered as a deliberate work of poetry and art by the women themselves. The poems, created and spoken in Mayan Tzotzil by individual poets, then translated by Ambar Past into faithful and readable Spanish and English versions, show how deeply rooted language traditions can transform into vehicles of personal as well as collective expression. Incantations represents a major contribution to poetry in general and to ethnopoetics in particular." - Jerome Rothenberg, poet and author First Edition, 2005. 229 pages. Original Price 26.95.
