Book Synopsis Gathering Words by : María Luisa Arroyo

Download or read book Gathering Words written by María Luisa Arroyo and published by Bilingual Review Press (AZ). This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Maria Luisa Arroyo's GATHERING WORDS/RECOGIENDO PALABRAS gives a voice to the oppressed, the abused, and the forgotten. It speaks from battered women's shelters and from inside homes that hide domestic violence and child abuse. Laying bare the stark realities of life with phrases that are alternately elegant, blunt, and rich with vivid imagery, Arroyo writes with spine-tingling candor that does not allow us to deny the truth. Shaped by her family's background in Puerto Rican music, her poems, written mostly in English, are reminiscent of folksongs with their narrative storytelling and activist representation of the disenfranchised, disillusioned, and neglected. This is Arroyo's first full-length collection of poems.
