{"product_id":"where-my-umbilical-is-buried-9781951979430","title":"Where My Umbilical Is Buried","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmanda Galvan Huynh's debut poetry collection Where My Umbilical is Buried is a \"heart in purple\" crayon under a table's left rib. It remembers the laughter around a game of Lotería, \"cicada shells \/ ghosting\" tree branches, Texas-shaped tortillas, and learning \"numbers in English, \/ in Spanish.\" Here we find familial portraits scattered across small Texas towns, boots shuffling to La Reina de Cumbia in dance halls, hands \"[grasping] at words\" to make sense of an unforgiving world. Galvan Huynh asks us to consider the intersections of our heritage and to reflect on our mothering as it nests within our present selves. She calls us to witness the ramifications of assimilation and the inheritance of fear-how a tongue resists being \"pulled away \/ saying grandpa instead of abuelo\" and cultivates space to \"envelop the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom [her] familia \/ sways to.\" Where My Umbilical is Buried is a threshold for acceptance and healing. Galvan Huynh discovers what it means to be a daughter of a grieving mother, orphaned at sixteen, and the ways trauma passes down to the next generation. These poems meditate on what happens when a daughter has \"no room left to hold \/ her mother's pain.\" We learn \"to be worthy.\" We learn \"to dig \/ into the soil \/ and hold on.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16013726\"\u003eAmanda Galvan Huynh\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sundress Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951979430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951979435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005070\"\u003eAmerican | Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE024000\"\u003eWomen Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE023000\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sundress Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889905414431,"sku":"1951979435","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_91a65c1e-106c-44da-a3b2-1ba34bd4fac1.jpg?v=1719845608","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/where-my-umbilical-is-buried-9781951979430","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
