Paperback. Condición: New. The speaker in this extraordinary collection finds herself multiply dislocated: from her childhood in California, from her family's roots in Mexico, from a dying parent, from her prior self. The world is always in motion and it is also full of risk.In such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout Sharks in the Rivers, Limón suggests that we must cleave to the world as it 'keep[s] opening before us,' for, if we pay attention, we can be one with its complex, ephemeral, and beautiful strangeness. Loss is perpetual, and each person's mouth 'is the same / mouth as everyone's, all trying to say the same thing.' For Limón, it's the saying - individual and collective - that transforms each of us into 'a wound overcome by wonder,' that allows 'the wind itself' to be our 'own wild whisper'.
