Produktbeschreibung

A heartbreaking, unforgettable collection by the great Mexican poet Coral Bracho about her mother's Alzheimer's, exquisitely translated by the Pulitzer Prizewinning poet Forrest Gander

It Must Be a Misunderstanding is the acclaimed Mexican poet Coral Bracho's most personal and emotive collection to date, dedicated to her mother who died of complications from Alzheimer's. Remarkably, Bracho, author and daughter, seems to disappear into her own empathic observations as her mother comes clear to us not as a tragic figure, but as a fiery and independent personality. The chemistry between them is vivid, poignant, and unforgettable. As the translator Forrest Gander explains in his introduction, the book's force builds as the poems cycle through their sequences from early to late Alzheimer'swith non-judgmental affection and compassionate watchfulness.
