Reviews
Fierce, anguished lyrics. . . . Herrera handles complex, wrenching material with a chilling tone that is at once furiously resistant, unsentimental and deeply wounded. The back-to-back English and Spanish allows the reader a fluid read in either language. Publishers Weekly Juan Felipe Herrera has done a commendable job of bringing the horror of this time to poetry. Foreword The simple, enduring ebb and flow of village life . . . is shattered forever by man's unnatural acts; the fields are drenched in blood and the people murdered. That Thunderweavers is a hard book to read is a tribute to the power of Herrera's elegiac verses. Multicultural Review
