Summary: "Jeannette L. Clariond's GODDESSES OF WATER draws upon Mesoamerican cosmogony to lament the present-day epidemic of femicides in Mexico. Clariond's sixth book in English translation reconstructs the myth of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, employing the lyricism of Nahuatl philosophy. Printed in a bilingual (Spanish-English) edition, the cycle of poems is accompanied by a glossary of the Nahuatl words and Aztec concepts critical to its comprehension. In Samantha Schnee's keen and urgent translation, this collection of poems presents a surprising window on an invisible war waged against thousands of Mexican women"-- Provided by publisher.
