Notes

Description
"Mikeas Sanchez explores the worldview of the Zoque people of southern Mexico. Her paced, steely lyrics fuse cosmology, lineage, feminism, and environmental activism into a singular body of work that stands for the self and the collective in the same instant....How to Be a Good Savage and Other Poems examines the intersection of Zoque struggles against colonialism and empire, and those of North African immigrants and refugees. Sanchez encountered the latter in Barcelona as a revelation, 'spreading their white blankets on the ground / as if they'll soon return to sea / flying the sail of the promised land / the land that became a mirage.' Other works bring us just as close to similarly imperiled relatives, ancestors, gods, and archetypal Zoque men and women that Sanchez addresses with both deeply prophetic and childlike love." --publisher's website
Language
Parallel texts in English, Spanish, and Zoque ; translated from the Spanish and Zoque.
