Promises of Gold | Jose Olivarez

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

"A groundbreaking collection of poems addressing how every kind of love-self, brotherly, romantic, familial, cultural-is birthed, shaped, and complicated by the invisible forces of gender, capitalism, religion, migration, and so on. Written in English and combined with a Spanish translation by poet David Ruano, Promises of Gold explores many forms of love and how "a promise made isn't always a promise kept," as Olivarez grapples with the contradictions of the American Dream laying bare the ways in which "love is complicated by forces larger than our hearts.""--

After a little nap and dinner with my husband, I'm back at it, reading one of my Independent Bookstore Day purchases! #Hour15 #readathon #deweysreadathon @DeweysReadathon

A truly powerful collection of poems exploring the idea of love. And not just romantic love, but love for family, friends, community, and culture. Additionally, it also explores capitalism, immigration, and religion. This book is written in both Spanish and English, allowing you to delve into the meanings in both languages, and is broken into several parts to create a flow that adds to the experience.
