Stitching together multiple sonnets into what he calls “sonnet essays,” Alvergue rides their turns—or “voltas”—that are guided by memories and photographs of his family’s migratory history between El Salvador and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The resulting text is a story of human geography that considers the coordinates of a long, continuous thought about what it means to be “of a place” as a defining characteristic of identity, when one is also “in a place” that sets strict limits on the political and historical potential of im\/migrants. A deeply human documentary work that delves into one family’s migration across the hemisphere, \u003ci\u003een el norte\/soy del sur\u003c\/i\u003e hopes to give shape to the collective and often amorphous history of migration in the face of narratives that peddle spectacularized distillation and essentialism.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Omnidawn Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56408845975896,"sku":"9781632432124","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781632432124_eed7d77f-6229-44bd-96fd-51b4da734c50.jpg?v=1779865265","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/en-el-norte-soy-del-sur","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
