Karankawa

Winner of the 2014 Donald Hall Prize for Poetry Winner of the 2106 Society of Midland Authors Literary Award (poetry category) Karankawa is a collection that explores some of the ways in which we (re)construct our personal histories. Rich in family narratives, myths, and creation stories, these are poems that investigate passage--dying, coming out, transforming, being born--as well as the gaps that also reside in our stories, for, as Rocha suggests, the opportunity to create myths is provided by great silences.
