LORNA DEE CERVANTES, Refugee Ship Of Mexican and Native American ancestry, Lorna Dee Cervantes was born into a very poor family but she discovered the world of books at an early age. She began writing when she was six years old. In 1990 she obtained a doctorate from the University of California at Santa Cruz, where she studies philosophy and aesthetics. She then went on to teach creative writing at the University of Colorado in Denver. Refugee Ship like wet cornstarch I slide past mi abuelita's eyes bible placed by her side she removes her glasses the pudding thickens mamá raised me with no language I am an orphan to my spanish name the words are foreign, stumbling on my tongue I stare at my reflection in the mirror brown skin, blackhair I feel I am a captive aboard the refugee ship a ship that will never dock a ship that will never dock Tasks Do you feel that the author reproaches her family for her current situation or is it merely a stating of facts? How would you interprete the metaphor "refugee ship"? What does it imply?

I stumbled upon this poem while in college. I have always been fascinated by other cultures. Lorna Dee Cervantes' poetry blends a perfect mix of truth, culture and nature. Como lo Siento I heard an owl at midday. A crow flew, spiraled, drifted, and I thought of the circle my own life made, and how at heart I'm a hoverer the way I've always drifted toward you. Another owl lifted from the palm. She showed me how I rose, caught in the wind by your skin and tongue. I feel scooped from the banks like clay, smoked and fired by your eyes til I ring. I'm paralyzed by joy and I forget how to act. I'm a shell in the cliffs. a thousand miles from sea. You tide me and I rise, and there's no truth more simple.

FRtR Outlines American Literature American Poetry Since 1945: The Anti-Tradition > Women and mulitethnic poets An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Poetry Since 1945: Women and mulitethnic poets Index Previous Chapter Next Chapter Women's literature, like minority literature and surrealism, first became aware of itself as a driving force in American life during the late 1960s. It flourished in the feminist movement initiated in that era. The second half of the 20th century has witnessed a renaissance in multiethnic literature. Beginning with the 1960s, following the lead of African-Americans, ethnic writers in the United States began to command public attention. During the 1970s, ethnic studies programs were begun. In the 1980s, a number of academic journals, professional organizations, and literary magazines devoted to ethnic groups were initiated. By the 1990s, conferences devoted to the study of specific ethnic literatures had begun, and the canon of "classics" had been expanded to include ethnic writers in anthologies and course lists. Important issues included race versus ethnicity, ethnocentrism versus polycentrism, monolingualism versus bilingualism, and coaptation versus marginalization. Deconstruction, applied to political as well as literary texts, called the status quo into constant question. Minority poetry shares the variety and occasionally the anger of women's writing. It has flowered recently in Hispanic- Americans such as Gary Soto, Alberto Rios, and Lorna Dee Cervantes; in Native Americans such as Leslie Marmon Silko, Simon Ortiz, and Louise Erdrich; in African-American writers such as Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Michael Harper, Rita Dove, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni; and in Asian-American poets such as Cathy Song, Lawson Inada, and Janice Mirikitani.

From Emplumada by Lorna Dee Cervantes By Lorna Dee Cervantes MEETING MESCALITO AT OAK HILL CEMETERY Sixteen years old and crooked with drug, time warped blissfully as I sat alone on Oak Hill. The cemetery stones were neither erect nor stonelike, but looked soft and harmless; thousands of them rippling the meadows like overgrown daisies. I picked apricots from the trees below where the great peacocks roosted and nagged loose the feathers from their tails. I knelt to a lizard with my hands on the earth, lifted him and held him in my palm — Mescalito was a true god. Coming home that evening nothing had changed. I covered Mama on the sofa with a quilt I sewed myself, locked my bedroom door against the stepfather, and gathered the feathers I'd found that morning, each green eye in a heaven of blue, a fistfull of understanding; and late that night I tasted the last of the sweet fruit, sucked the rich pit and thought nothing of death.
