Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Women's Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jen Hofer. Dolores Dorantes's STYLE is a prose book in which a plural feminine voice narrates the vicissitudes of a war designed to suppress that voice. A voice that represents the war on the Mexico-U.S. border? Guerilla adolescents taking their revenge? Enslaved girls who appear in order to combat a macho presidential figure linked to our current-day Central America? Latin America advancing on a fascist- capitalist government? These are some of the questions that might arise from STYLE. The book was written in 2011, in some dark place in Texas, during the first three months Dorantes was awaiting political asylum.

Style / Estilo (English and Spanish Edition)

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jen Hofer. Bilingual Edition. INTERVENIR/INTERVENE is a searing, tender, unflinching collaboration between two Mexican poets—Dolores Dorantes, who lived in Ciudad Juárez for 25 years and now has political asylum in Los Angeles, and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez, who lives in Mexico City. INTERVENIR/INTERVENE asks questions no one should have to ask: in a climate of state- sponsored violence, what kinds of speech, writing, relation are possible? We are being intervened. How do we collaborate? How do we resist? INTERVENIR/INTERVENE es una colaboración mordaz, tierna e impávida entre dos poetas mexicanos—Dolores Dorantes, que vivió 25 años en Ciudad Juárez y ahora tiene asilo político en Los ángeles, y Rodrigo Flores Sánchez, que vive en la Ciudad de México. INTERVENIR/INTERVENE hace preguntas que nadie debería verse obligado a preguntar: en un clima de violencia promovida por el Estado, ¿qué tipos de expresión, de escritura, de relación, son posibles? Estamos siendo intervenidos. ¿Cómo colaboramos? ¿Cómo resistimos?

She writes a monthly column for Palette Poetry and lives in Mexico City.\nFrom Mexican-born poet Dolores Dorantes, Copy is a book-length prose poem examining extrication, refuge, and reintegration, presented in English for the first time by award-winning translator Robin Meyers.\nThrough deconstructed dictionary entries and powerfully syncopated, recursive texts, Copy is a prose poem sequence that insinuates an experience of violent removal: a person's disappearance from a country, from normal life, and forcible reintegration into a new social and existential configuration.\nThis displaced, dispossessed voice explores what it means to be extracted, subtracted, abstracted out of being—and returned into it. Meditative, urgent, and alive, Copy asserts itself as an invocation, both intensely personal and insistently communal, of the right to refuge, and it enacts a powerful homage to the human capacity for creation and metamorphosis. In this way, this book points to the wound of being extricated, serving as both a suture and a salve.\nExcerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.\nThis is I. This is he.\nThis is the miserable one, son of the miserable man and miserable woman. Son of your water and fire. I came from you, from nothingness, from one of your old poems, I came. I came from the imagination to return it to you and to carve your name, in stone like all the other parts of this wasteland. I asked a mule about its father and it said to me:\nMy uncle is a horse. Then it disappeared.\nI asked a girl about her father. She became shy and she said: Perhaps it is you, and then she slipped into the fog.\nI asked a lark that was whispering to its mother about its mother. It approached and said: Perhaps she is you, so please carry me. And it slept in my hand.\nI asked myself: Who am I?\nThe nocturnal echo around me responded: Who am I? This is I. This is he. 
This is all of my imagination.

El amor, segun postula Dolores Dorantes en este libro, tambien es una fabrica. A traves de un monologo tragico y existencial, la autora invoca una voz poetica que produce y erige consistencia con los suenios y la emocion vital, que llama a lo sacrificial. Este libro construye tambien versos liberados, innovadores, versos que hablan y se dirigen a un alguien omnipresente: el dios, el demonio, el amador. Con una voz arriesgada y novedosa, fronteriza, Querida fabrica sera una revelacion para el lector que se preocupe por indagar en las entranias de este libro.
