The book is an expansive examination of language and landscape, voice and memory, where the balance between experimentation and tradition coexist. The poems realize a reconciliation between the writers voice and the voice of witness, wonder, and tragedy; a dialogue between two worlds that employs an equally paradoxical imagery of the American Southwest and the marshes of Southern Louisiana. The book concludes with its namesake poem, The Outer Bands, a twenty-eight-day chronicle of the days between Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, which together decimated the Gulf Coast region in 2005. The sequence poem, a pastiche and re-contextualization of images, news blurbs, and political rhetoric, travels and responds in a spare subjectivity to the storm. Gabriel Gomez completed it during a two-month emergency residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute after his home in New Orleans was destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704176116000,"sku":"NEW0268029725","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71haxN6J1ML.jpg?v=1779394335","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-outer-bands-andres-montoya-poetry-prize-0268029725","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
