Promises of gold = Promesas de oro

Olivarez, José (author.). Ruano González, David, (translator.). Olivarez, José Container of (expression): Promises of gold. (Added Author). Olivarez, José Container of (expression): Promises of gold. Spanish. (Added Author).

Summary: "A groundbreaking collection of poems addressing how every kind of love--self, brotherly, romantic, familial, cultural--is birthed, shaped, and complicated by the invisible forces of gender, capitalism, religion, migration, and so on. Written in English and combined with a Spanish translation by poet David Ruano, Promises of Gold explores many forms of love and how "a promise made isn't always a promise kept," as Olivarez grapples with the contradictions of the American Dream laying bare the ways in which "love is complicated by forces larger than our hearts.""--
