Description
The retelling of Mexican family folktales, feminist reclamations of ancient myths, and new motherhood: Raquel Vasquez Gilliland's debut collection, Dirt and Honey, unearths the connection of these experiences with innovative language.
Gilliland writes across myth, describing a woman who grew leaves, the grandmother of God, and the story of her grandfather, who left for Texas as a refugee of the Mexican Civil War.
Gilliland's work centers readers in a place all her own—one in which ancient lineages are drawn with breast milk, seduction begins with feasts of peppers, and "fisherchildren" displaced by wars are always welcomed into new lands.
