About this ebook
HOW TO PULL APART THE EARTH is an homage to the intrinsic thread that weaves the culture of Mexico together with the United States, and the echo of colonization that works to erase it. Cordero skillfully exemplifies the complexity & beauty of growing up in a borderland, and the sacrifices paid for the dream.

How to Pull Apart the Earth - Karla Cordero

___________
BORN AT THE CIRCUS
i don’t believe quiet to be a good song.
i know this. how my body whispered into light
the doctor calling each bone a still child
& i go on & on to recreate my creation story.
start from scratch. toss the noiseless pieces of bone
down a flight of stairs. the marrow collapsing a yellowness.
now a yellow tent. the tongue unfolds a wet carpet.
the accent marks un-tame the lion.
the spanish the lion who circles the stadium.
all the seats filled by the strumming notes of uvula
waiting for the grand finale. the wild cat in
all its rolled r’s never jumps
Enjoying the preview?
