Carmen Boullosa’s Hatchet and Hamartia: A Dual Literary Work

Description

Hatchet / Hamartia by Carmen Boullosa Translated by Lawrence Schimel (White Pine Press, paperback)

Publication Date: October 27, 2020

Publisher Marketing: A bilingual poetry collection in which a microwave, a fly, a soup, a football match, a train, or a child in the subway serve as pretexts to explain the tragic nature of life when death is involved. One with strong personality and the double capacity of playing with language and using it as a mirror of the Mexican reality, sometimes violent, with memorable lines and reflections of great depth.
