Winner, 2015 Whiting Award for Poetry Stunning, highly original poems that celebrate the richness of the author's multicultural tradition, Teeth explores loves, wars, wild hope, defiance, and the spirit of creativity in a daring use of language and syntax. Behind this language one senses a powerful, inventive woman who is not afraid to tackle any subject, including rape, genocide, and love, always sustained by an optimistic voice, assuring us that in the end justice will triumph and love will persevere. LOVE, you be the reason why we swagger & jive, lift the guitar, & pick up the axe. when it is i tilt my hat to the side, wearing colors & perfumes, it's cause, love, you did it to me. oh, you do sure turn my tongue to fiddle, & make the salt taste sweet. man, i don't need a rooster, or peacock even, to help me spend my time, nope, just you, love, right & solid as a line. Review: love love love - This book is everything! I started reading it because of the Estefani Lora poem, which is my favorite poem by Aracelis. But this collection in its entirety is beautiful and real and amazing. There is so much to love about it. Review: excellent! - She writes poetry like she's a real person, writes poetry like she is creating an ethnology, writes poetry like she's living it, writes poetry like it's a newspaper editorial, writes poetry like it's a protest song, writes poetry like she is a poet. So much good going on in this book.
