Charles Hood

The Xopilote Cantos Charles Hood 1st edition

Poetry. Latino/a Studies. "I read THE XOPILOTE with wonder at its fertility of imagination and vigor of expression. The poem vividly evokes the haunting 'otherness' of the Central American Pacific rainforest, where giant stone spheres brood under the suras and almendros--and the Quixotic strangeness of Gil Gonzalez Davila's attempt to penetrate and possess that 'other.' Charles Hood has given new life to narrative verse"--David Rains Wallace. Charles Hood teaches literature and writing at Antelope valley College and his awards include a Fulbright scholarship in ethnopoetics as well as recognition for his photography and collages. This is his third book
