In his award-winning first book, J. Michael Martinez reenvisions Latino poetics and its current conceptions of cultural identity. In Heredities, he opens a historically ravaged continental body through a metaphysical dissection into Being and silence. The hand manipulates a surgical etymology through the spine: the longitude where "history gathers in the name we never are." The poems seek to speak beyond codified aesthetics and dictated identity politics in order to recognize a territory of "irreducible otherness" where the self's sinew may be "reeved through revelation" and where, finally, one finds "obscurity bonded to light." This stunning collection heralds the arrival of an important new voice in American poetry.

Book Description:
From the Back Cover:
In his Walt Whitman Award-winning first book, J. Michael Martinez re-envisions Latino poetics and its current conceptions of cultural identity. Heredities seeks to speak beyond codified aesthetics and dictating identity politics in order to recognize a territory of "irreducible otherness" where the self's sinew may be "reeved through/ revelation" and where, finally, one finds "obscurity bonded to light."
"In J. Michael Martinez's Heredities, history is unsettled by way of the visionary hybridity that is Martinez's method of poetic inquiry. The poems explore with a passionate lyric gorgeousness the borderlands between myth and memory, between plunder and inheritance, between the story we tell and the story we deny--this violent story of regeneration we call America." --Eric Pankey
"In Heredities, Martinez mines various linguistic, mythological, and historical narratives that 'complete themselves in one another.' Both corporeal and heady, this collection marries the earth to the word, and revises how a twenty-first-century identity is forged with and through the past. Martinez is not only a fine poet but is also a dedicated anthropologist with the ability to excavate language from the ruins of history." --Carmen Gimenez Smith
