Stitching together multiple sonnets into what he calls \"sonnet essays,\" Alvergue rides their turns-or \"voltas\"-that are guided by memories and photographs of his family's migratory history between El Salvador and the United States. � The resulting text is a story of human geography that considers the coordinates of a long, continuous thought about what it means to be \"of a place\" as a defining characteristic of identity, when one is also \"in a place\" that sets strict limits on the political and historical potential of im\/migrants. A deeply human documentary work that delves into one family's migration across the hemisphere, en el norte\/soy del sur hopes to give shape to the collective and often amorphous history of migration in the face of narratives that peddle spectacularized distillation and essentialism. �\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jose Felipe Alvergue","offers":[{"title":"110 pages \/ 05\/06\/2026 \/ Poetry by individual poets","offer_id":57157944082807,"sku":"9781632432124","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781632432124","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
