Description
Paul Hlava Ceballos's debut collection banana [ ] explores the complex relationship between the United States and the Americas through poetic portraits of migrants, family, and personal memories.
The book features a long poem that delves into the history of bananas in Latin America, using found text from historical sources such as history books, declassified CIA documents, and commercials. Other forms include collage, Ecuadorian decimas, and a sonnet series, as well as an interspersed poem with photos and the author's mother's bilingual idioms.
Through its innovative use of language and form, banana [ ] guides readers beyond survival to love, traversing borders, history, and story in a unique and powerful way.
