Description
Gloria Gervitz's epic poem Migrations is a masterpiece of modern Mexican literature, spanning two thousand years of poetry and exploring the individual and collective memories of Jewish women emigrants from Eastern Europe. This English-only edition brings together forty-four years of work in free verse, blending Jewish and Catholic liturgies to create a powerful prayer that reclaims the voice and erotic power of its author. Through its reach, audacity, and vitality, Migrations bears comparison to the works of some of the most influential poets of the 20th century. This book is a testament to the enduring power of poetry to express the human experience and to reclaim one's own voice in the face of adversity. Published by the New York Review of Books, this edition marks the culmination of Gervitz's life's work, making it an essential read for anyone interested in contemporary poetry and the experiences of women from diverse backgrounds.
