It investigates the mutual and compounding complications of these two shifts in identity while examining legacy, history, ancestry, land, home, and language. The collection is heavily focused on the latter, including formal experimentation with hybridity and polyvocality, combining English and Portuguese, interrogating translation and transforming traditional repeating poetic forms. These poems from the perspective of an immigrant mother of an American child create a complex picture of the beauty, danger and parental love the speaker finds and the legacy she brings to her reluctant new motherland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnanda Lima is the author of \u003ci\u003eMother\/land\u003c\/i\u003e (Black Lawrence Press), winner of the Hudson Prize, and \u003ci\u003eCraft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil\u003c\/i\u003e (Tor Books).
