![Palm Frond with Its Throat Cut by Vickie Vértiz (Paperback)]()
Palm Frond with Its Throat Cut uses both humor and sincerity to capture moments in time with a sense of compassion for the hard choices we must make to survive. Vértiz's poetry shows how history, oppression, and resistance don't just refer to big events or movements; they play out in our everyday lives, in the intimate spaces of family, sex, and neighborhood. Vértiz's poems ask us to see Los Angeles-and all cities like it-as they have always been: an America of code-switching and reinvention, of lyric and fight.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Vickie VértizPublisher: University of Arizona PressPublished: 09/26/2017ISBN: 9780816535118Pages: 72Weight: 0.25lbsSize: 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.30dReview Citations: Library Journal 08/01/2017
