Book synopsis

Demetria Martinez has entered the public consciousness by way of the heart. In 1994, she captured a Western States Book Award with her first novel, "Mother Tongue," which went on to win widespread national attention. Now, in "Breathing between the Lines," the writer returns to poetry, her first love. Many of the poems in this book touch on the themes from "Mother Tongue," about an American activist who falls in love with a Salvadoran political refugee. Weaving together threads of love and family, social conviction and activism, loss and renewal, "Breathing between the Lines" carries the reader deep inside the head and heart of a talented Chicana writer. Page by page, the journey is an exhilarating one. What we find at the end is up to us.
