Through interactions with the Codex, Zamora's \"undulations\" emerge-- preverbal, more-than-verbal, urges and responses to the document, while also undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Spanning Chichén Itzá to the Vatican Apostolic Library, to the Popol Vuh, to the exam room, to the Tōnalpōhualli, to the infusion center, to Xibalbá, these poems attune to the ancestral, ontological, anatomical, and environmental gaps left in the wake of violence, to create imaginative bridges of homecoming, belonging, and futurity that wormhole centuries together in a present pulse. Zamora's poetry reminds us that the body is the first archive, as she melds the rawness of cancer with the empowerment of finding the self in the voices of the ancestors. Docupoems reveal the body as a site of channeling, site of liberation, and site of occupancy where ruins, joy, lineage, illegibility, grief, and disease live restlessly intertwined. \"Reminders how the body sings despite.\" \u003ci\u003eMurmuration Archives\u003c\/i\u003e is a love poem todescendants of ancient Mesoamerica and cancer survivors--illuminating the primordial collective inside each of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9.96 x 7.03 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 18, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48445060710621,"sku":"9781955992718","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/gKYlUc0v7h9781955992718_cd807c62-a08a-4df3-8b34-7ce33f4e9f97.webp?v=1787760168","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/murmuration-archives-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
