A?oranza: Poems
No Customer Reviews
These poems are like short stories packed with emotion, plot, character, and consequence. They evoke small-town, mid-century life with intimate detail, both physical and emotional, capturing moments of girlhood that linger and haunt the memory in later life. A oranza, (Spanish for yearning or longing) traces the impressions of a small-town girl whose family is dominated by a father's harsh rule over the household. His spare-the-rod- spoil-the- child philosophy and "cop" mentality are buffered by the presence of her mother and grandmother-their songs, their strengths, their lessons. A oranza contains a constellation of themes-faith, death, power, and conflict, which culminate in the author's discovering a new geography of acceptance and redemption.
