false 807698 1 Barbara Jane Reyes’s Poeta en San Francisco is a linguistic tour de force, incorporating English, Spanish, and Tagalog in a book-length poem at once lush and experimentally rigorous. From the vantage of San Francisco, Reyes looks outward to the Philippines, Vietnam, and other colonized places with violent histories. As she said in a recent interview, “It’s almost a cliché, the phrase, ‘the personal is political,’ but certainly, this is a strong consideration in my work.” And yet, it is not only violence that concerns Reyes: “I am interested in how we come to love in this world, despite the historical circumstances, the conquests, the wars, which have created us as a diasporic people, as exiles, and refugees.” This is an ambitious, sweeping and necessary work. Reyes has won the James Laughlin Award for a second book from the Academy of American Poets for this volume. 793640 30 6 2005 Poeta En San Francisco total:59|5:28|4:23|3:6|2:2|1:0| 59 254 83 7 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Sep 23 03:34:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 03:36:16 -0700 2008 once, so far
