Using the image presented as a catalyst for exploration and self-reflection, Rodrguez unveils the familial journey between two countries and cultures through both a surreal and narrative lens. Here, a mother unearths a severed hand in the desert. A father discovers his heart among a heap of discarded items. And at one point, the speaker-toggling between his role as witness and son-finds himself in a canoe on a river contemplating the meaning behind an authentic experience. Lyrical, insightful, and honestly engaging, Lotera sheds light on a world that doesnt so easily reveal itself, adding to Rodrguezs prolific and important oeuvre.The Sabine Series in Literature\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52226622128416,"sku":"NEW1680033220","price":9.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61ssFNU8JIL.jpg?v=1787318823","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lotera-poems-volume-5-the-sabine-series-in-literature-1680033220","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
