Title: It Must Be a Misunderstanding
Author: Coral Bracho
ISBN: 9780811231398
Publisher: New Directions
Published: 2022
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Condition Note: New from the publisher
Publisher Description: It Must Be a Misunderstanding is the acclaimed Mexican poet Coral Bracho's most personal and emotive collection to date, dedicated to her mother who died of complications from Alzheimer's. Remarkably, Bracho, author and daughter, seems to disappear into her own empathic observations as her mother comes clear to us not as a tragic figure, but as a fiery and independent personality. The chemistry between them is vivid, poignant, and unforgettable. As the translator Forrest Gander explains in his introduction, the book's force "builds as the poems cycle through their sequences"-- from early to late Alzheimer's--"with non-judgmental affection and compassionate watchfulness."
