X nath Caraza's first book-length collection Conjuro: Poems, with
introduction by Fred Arroyo, is published by Mammoth Publications,
a Native-owned literary press. In this tri-lingual text, Caraza
combines Spanish, English, and Nahuatl (language of the Aztecs) to
create a continuous spell of verse. Caraza's writing derives from
her awareness of Indigenous thought: words are tangible objects,
not abstractions; they are capable of influencing physical
reality's web of interactions. The poet's connection to her
Indigenous and Mexican heritage energizes her verse. This debut
collection establishes her as a major voice of 21st American
letters. Conjuro shows how multiple cultures co-exist for United
States immigrants and descendants. It is appropriate for young
adults, Latin American Studies, Indigenous American Studies, and
Midwest U.S. Studies. "To travel Conjuro's poetic, terrestrial
tapestry, to let its strong linguistic currents move you, is to
reside on the earth that X nath Caraza sings into existence. I
could listen to her cantos all the days of my life, and know in
this music the enchantments, traditions, and streets to travel back
toward home." Fred Arroyo
