Produktbeschreibung

All the Way to China is Maria Rouphail's third poetry collection, and her second full-length manuscript. The title references childhood play in the backyard soil and her mother's encouragement to "dig deep, dig all the way to China." Rouphail explores family memory, an intense mother-daughter relationship, childbirth, and issues of social and interpersonal justice. Born in the Bronx, NY in 1948, Rouphail is Latina, her father having been born in Guanabacoa, Cuba in 1910. Having lived in New York and New Jersey, came of age in Miami and the South in the last decade of "official" Jim Crow. She has lived in Chicago, and now resides in Raleigh, NC.
