{"product_id":"chamorrita-song","title":"Chamorrita Song","description":"For poet and spoken-word artist Danielle P. Williams, Kantan Chamorrita is more than just the ancient craft of Chamorro folk song. It is also a return and a homecoming. This impromptu style of communal call-and response performance art forms the spokes for Williams’s debut collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRooted in oral tradition, \u003ci\u003eChamorrita Song \u003c\/i\u003epays homage to Black and Chamorro cultures, honoring the artistic expressions that these communities have created to reconcile lifetimes of imposed trauma. Bearing witness to these many narratives, Williams intertwines spoken word poetry and gospel music with Chamorro storytelling, weaving together the nuanced histories of queer, Black, and Indigenous existence and literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere Williams reveals capacious contemporary forms that speak to the future as well as to the past and that further ground lineages in homelands, finding strength and beauty in collective pain and triumph. These poems transform and spread the messages of those long silenced. They act as song and prayer.","brand":"University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55761556439384,"sku":"9780816555161","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780816555161_77b47eee-215e-4767-bb71-75f3709ab4d4.jpg?v=1778009423","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chamorrita-song","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
