Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. At last A new edition of Emmy P rez's SOLSTICE--expanded and with Spanish translations of selected poems--a book that set the highest standards for Chicana poets when first published in 2003, for its adroit mixture of lyricism and politics."Emmy P rez's poems are elegantly political, never polemical. They discover the beauty in revolution without romanticizing its hardships. From the first moment I encountered her poems, I knew I was meeting a singular voice--one that can find lyricism in struggle, dignity in injustice. Her voice sings of landscape and longing with deftness of image and diction. What a welcome debut."--Allison Joseph"The new generation of Latina poets will be noted for the work of writers such as Emmy P rez."--Ray Gonz lez
