These translations give a profound insight into the original poetry of this greatest of contemporary Latin American women.

Yes, you can solve some of these problems with a sound knowledge of perspective drawing. I often notice that trying to create the illusion of space-over valley peaks or a body of water-can be difficult! The distance over water is sometimes deceptive and the atmospheric effects of air, light, and cloud cover in a valley can really distort what I see despite trying to start with a perspective drawing of some sort and building on that. When I go to the beach or camp out over a long weekend, I often try to sketch while I’m out.

Brand’s novel starts from the margins of the colonial archives, but it suggests that colonial historiography, while still powerful, is neither an adequate recourse for the injustices of the black Atlantic past nor a vehicle for the diasporic longings of black Atlantic subjects today. 1 Rather than exploring and exposing the shortcomings of colonial historiography in order to demand a place for enslaved peoples and their descendants within an expanded version of that history, the novel highlights the continuities between past colonial violence, including the violence contained within the gaps of the colonial archive, and the violences and silences of contemporary social and economic relations. ![]() At the Full and Change of the Moon chronicles a family story with no pretensions to completeness or continuity, but rather one which ‘bursts forth in snatches and fragments’. ![]() ![]() ![]() When one of my favorite historical authors announced she would be doing contemporary romance, but it would be in first person, I swallowed my doubts and read Trade Me, which is one of my favorite all-time books.
