Another America/Otra America -- Barbara Kingsolver

<p><b>From a bestselling and beloved author, an intensely personal collection of poetry "rich with political and human resonance"</b> (<b>Ursula K. LeGuin)</b></p><p>Before becoming the bestselling author we know today, Barbara Kingsolver, as a new college graduate in search of adventure, moved to the borderlands of Tucson, Arizona. What she found, she says, was "another America."</p><p>Interweaving past political events, from the US-backed dictatorships in South America to the government surveillance carried out in the Reagan years, Kingsolver's early poetry expands into a broader examination of the racism, discrimination, and immigration system she witnessed at close range. The poems coalesce in a record of her emerging adulthood, in which she confronts the hypocrisy of the national myth of America--a confrontation that would come to shape her not only as an artist, but as a citizen. With a new introduction from Kingsolver that reflects on the current border crisis, <i>Another </i><i>America </i>is a striking portrait of a country deeply divided between those with privilege and those without, and the lives of urgent purpose that may be carved out in between.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Barbara Kingsolver<br><b>Publisher:</b> Seal Press (CA)<br><b>Published:</b> 02/22/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 144<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781541600386<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Barbara Kingsolver
