Synopsis
Poetry. California Interest. Latinx Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jose Antonio Villar n. Omar Pimienta documents what living on either side of a militarized border does to a community, how it distorts, breeding suspicion and lies. Here a father brags he has always crossed using a false ID, never through the desert, and a son crosses easily once he has (or claims to have?) a job building destroyers. Here a guard demands that a woman breastfeed an infant she's carrying to prove that it's hers. Pimienta allows ironies and horrors to speak for themselves -- and they do. Loud and clear.--Rae Armantrout In ALBUM OF FENCES, Omar Pimienta writes the membranes that thrive between the sensed-real of the culturally residual and the liminally sensed hyper-real of the culturally emergent. His vision isn't of an epiphany variety, but rather is borne of a subtle constructivist process of cultural shiftaramas. Writ large into being are alter-selves that get marked up to what Guillermo Gomez Pe a has called, 'the mainstream bizarre.' Nimbly threading History's objects ('nation', 'family', 'selfhood', 'city', 'work world' 'friends'), Pimienta guides us into and out of a Borderland Capture-Zone. The result is a transnational, infra-biographical holography that sets the stage for a lived-life poetics. The creative tension between 'biography' and public myth--is nothing short of dazzling.--Rodrigo Toscano Pimienta is an alchemist of memory, turning simple snapshots into legends, fathers into brothers, heroes and ghosts. His Tijuana is not a wall but a magic portal.--Mike Davis, Poetry. California Interest. Latinx Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jose Antonio Villar n.

- n***m (581)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem was packaged securely in (extra secure) bubble wrap container. Arrived in the condition described, checking the discs, appear to be advertised quality perhaps better. Good value for the money. Not concerned about the box/cases since I am combining S1-S8 discs into another housing format. Thanks!
- t***t (1489)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent seller, Great communications. Fast delivery, Accurate description, Fair pricing, Great packing, AAAA++++!!!!
- i***d (754)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat experience. DVD arrived in record time and well packaged. It loaded instantly. I recently tried loading 10 dvd's after a year and 5 didn't load. The seller advertised that he checked every disc before sending it. I found some strange scratches around the center hole (I've always searched the body of the disc for horizontal scratches). The seller wouldn't acknowledge my messages and he didn't accept returns, so I lost that money. Thanks for being honest and a seller who accepts returns.No Name on the Bullet - DVD - 1959 - Audie Murphy, Joan Evans, R.G. Armstrong (#226640725084)
