Formally diverse with echoes of Spanish throughout, this debut collection critiques power and patriarchy as weaponized by the governments of the United States and the Republic of Cuba. In investigating the realities of displacement and inherited exile, Sainz honors her imagined past, present, and future as a result of the \"revolution within the revolution\"--the emancipation of Cuban women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through lyric and associative meditations, Sainz anatomizes the unique grief of immigrant daughters, as her speakers discover how family can be a microcosm of the very violence that displaced them. What emerges is a spiritual blueprint for disinheritance, radical self-determination, and the nuanced examinations of myth, ritual, and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe daughter of Cuban exiles, \u003cb\u003eLeslie Sainz\u003c\/b\u003e is the recipient of a 2021 National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship.
