In his award-winning first book, J. Michael Martinez reenvisions
Latino poetics and its current conceptions of cultural identity. In
Heredities, he opens a historically ravaged continental body
through a metaphysical dissection into Being and silence. The hand
manipulates a surgical etymology through the spine: the longitude
where ""history gathers in the name we never are."" The poems seek
to speak beyond codified aesthetics and dictated identity politics
in order to recognise a territory of ""irreducible otherness""
where the self's sinew may be ""reeved through revelation"" and
where, finally, one finds ""obscurity bonded to light."" This
stunning collection heralds the arrival of an important new voice
in American poetry.
