Rodrigo Toscano calls Vicuña's poetry \"the outer out, beyond nation states, passed 'inter state' affairs, in other words, close in, as close as we get to our fair planet's sources, and to each other.\" In this bilingual collection, Vicuña and her translator, Rosa Alcalá, are artist witnesses to a natural world that is a storehouse of sacred words, seeds, threads, and songs. Present everywhere, they are sources for a rebalancing in human relationships and for new forms of grace and healing. In Vicuña's vision, art is life and intimacy with it is transformative.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"iFCMM rtTrg Va-9h s0MuE\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"iFCMM rtTrg Va-9h s0MuE\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePRAISE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"iFCMM rtTrg Va-9h s0MuE\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Cecilia Vicuña, the textual and the visual exist and function together...as if the making of objects and the shaping of words into images are knotted together like threads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"iFCMM rtTrg Va-9h s0MuE\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Dr. Jordan Amirkhani\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"iFCMM rtTrg Va-9h s0MuE\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFew artists so buffeted by a lifetime of political circumstances have found such uniquely poetic ways to respond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"iFCMM rtTrg Va-9h s0MuE\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Lucy Lippard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelsey Street Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896088330549,"sku":"9780932716873","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/4289\/2853\/files\/dd7d05_706778f062244e2492e6c732a8581839_mv2.avif?v=1792614712","url":"https:\/\/researchdevstore.myshopify.com\/products\/new-and-selected-poems-of-cecilia-vicuna","provider":"Research \u0026 Development Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
