Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Some Final Beauty and Other Stories showcases women and Chicanx characters whose resistance, reconciliation, and strength vigorously affirm community. Author Lisa Alvarez captures the spirit of empowerment in the struggle for justice faced by marginalized communities in a nation defined by politicians from Reagan to Trump. From the vibrant streets of Southern California to the arid Nevada Nuclear Test Site, these thematically linked stories explore self-discovery, rebellion, and solidarity as complex personalities and values meet at the intersection of art, love, relationships, activism, and identity. A Mexican American returns from WWII to encounter Paul Robeson. A Spanish Civil War veteran befriends a recovering addict. Young 1980s female activists take to the streets. A big-city Latino mayor discovers the limits of ambition. A grieving aunt confronts her dead nieces toxic lover. Both the author and her characters interrogate finality while insisting on the beauty of everyday human engagement, often steeped in Hispanic culture, and stubbornly demanding joyful civic participation. Alvarez constructs more than a sharp, empathetic and funny sociological survey of experiences. She crafts a chronicle of lives lived with purpose, resilience, and the hope of a better future. "Some Final Beauty and Other Stories showcases women and Chicanx characters whose resistance, reconciliation, and strength vigorously affirm community"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condición: New. Fifty years of poems from the Community of Writers' poetry workshopThe Community of Writers (formerly Community of Writers at Squaw Valley) celebrates fifty years of its annual summer poetry workshop in Olympic Valley, California, with this collection of one hundred and forty poems first composed there. Edited by writers workshop codirector Lisa Alvarez and introduced by longtime poetry director Robert Hass, the book is divided into three sections: poems that evoke the Valley's physical setting, with its granite-and-pine mountain beauty; poems that peer into the poetic process, filled with inspiration and idiosyncrasy; and poems of all shapes and kinds that owe their origins to the workshop and its productive morning review sessions. Contributors include both workshop staff and participants, among them Lucille Clifton, Sharon Olds, Al Young, Matthew Zapruder, Harryette Mullen, Galway Kinnell, Rita Dove, Cornelius Eady, Robert Hass, and Forrest Gander. The title of the collection comes from a question posed by original poetry director Galway Kinnell: "Then why to these rocks / Do I keep coming back why." It speaks to the special community nurtured in this stunning setting, one that has inspired poets worldwide-many of whom developed significant bodies of award-winning work in its creative and generative atmosphere.
