The Coiled Serpent: Poets Arising from the Cultural Quakes and Shifts of Los Angeles
Autor Daniel A. Olivas, Neelanjana Banerjee, Ruben J. Rodriguezen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2016
This
anthology
features
the
vitality
and
variety
of
verse
in
the
City
of
Angels,
a
city
of
poets.
This
is
more
about
range
then
representation,
voice
more
than
volume.
Los
Angeles
has
close
to
60
percent
people
of
color,
225
languages
spoken
at
home,
and
some
of
the
richest
and
poorest
persons
in
the
country.
With
an
expansive
502.7
square
miles
of
city
(and
beyond,
including
the
massive
county
of
4,752.32
square
miles),
the
poetry
draws
on
imagery,
words,
stories,
and
imaginations
that
are
also
vast,
encompassing,
a
real
"leaves
of
grass."
Well-known poets include Holly Prado, Ruben Martinez, traci kato-kiriyama, and Lynne Thompson. Many strong new voices, however, makes this a well-rounded collection for any literary class, program, bookstore, or event.
The image of the coiled serpent appears in various forms in mythologies throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, India, and America. In pre-conquest times, Quetzalcoatl—the Precious Serpent—served as a personification of earth-bound wisdom, the arts and eldership in so-called Meso-America, one of seven "cradles of civilization" that also includes China, Nigeria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and Peru.
