Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A wise, visionary debut on ecological and human resistance, perfect for readers of Joy Harjo and Tracy K. Smith, and fans of the earth-body artwork of Ana MendietaThe Brush is an incantatory, fearless exploration of collective trauma and its horrific relevance in todays Colombia, where mass killings continue. Told from the voices Pablo, Ester, and the Brush itself, Hernandez-Pachons poem is an astounding response to a traumatic event in recent Colombian history: the massacre in the village of El Salado between February 16 and 21, 2000. Paramilitary forces tortured and killed sixty people, interspersing their devastating violence with music in the town square.Pablo Rodriguez steps thirteen paces out into the night and buries a wooden box. Its contents: a chain, a medallion, a few overexposed photographs, and finally, a deed. He burrows into the ground without knowing quite why, but with the certainty of a heavy change pressing through the air, of fear settling like a cat in his throat. Meanwhile, his wife Ester a sharpshooter and keeper of all village secrets slips into her fifth dream of the night. As Ester tosses and Pablo pats his fresh mound of earth, another character emerges in Eliana Hernandez-Pachons vivid and prophetic triptych.The Brush is a tangled grove, a thicket of vines, an orchid pummeled with rain. It is also an extraordinary depiction of ecological resistance, of the natural world that both endures human cruelty and lives on in spite of it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781953861863
