From the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election through the COVID-19 pandemic, these poems memorialise lost loved ones and meditate on the not-yet gone—all while the wider world loses its sense of connection, safety, and assurance. In those years of mourning, \u003cem\u003eThe Blue Mimes\u003c\/em\u003e is a book of grounding and heartening resolve, even and especially in the states of uncertainty that define the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRivera's poems travel between Albuquerque, Lima, and Havana, deserts and coastlines and cities, Spanish and English—between modes of language and culture that shape the contours of memory and expose the fault lines of the self. In those inevitable fractures, with honest, off-kilter precision, Rivera vividly renders the ways in which the bereft become approximations of themselves as a means of survival, mimicking the stilted actions of the people they once were. Where speech is not enough, this astonishing collection finds a radical practice in continued searching, endurance without promise—the rifts in communion and incomplete pictures that afford the possibility to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244525990124,"sku":"9781644452790","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781644452790-the-blue-mimes-1.jpg?v=1787999138"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/sara-daniele-rivera.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
