Ancestral Throat - Paperback
by Danny Rivera (Author)
In Danny Rivera's Ancestral Throat, the death of a father becomes the occasion for a series of powerful meditations on mortality, parenting, magic, spirituality, and diaspora. Rich in metaphor, the writing draws on the resonance of two languages, Spanish and English, for its music. More than simply remembering the past, Rivera's work seeks to actively engage it in order to "reclaim our bloodborne history." These urgent, often fragmented, lyrics make a place for uncomfortable silences, unexplainable gaps, the unspeakable, the unspoken, yet also for the explosive imperative "your mouth is a flare shot at dusk" commanding us to listen. And we want to keep listening. This stunning collection reminds us that the world is a strangely brutal and beautiful place.
