What Sparks Poetry:
Irma Pineda (Juchitán de Zaragoza, Oaxaca) on Ecopoetry Now
"In my mother-tongue, el didxazá (Zapotec), there are two words for referring to nature. One word is nagá, which makes reference to greenery, that which grows and reproduces, like plants, trees, flowers, maize: because there will be food, there will also be life. The other word, which we use more frequently, is guendanabani, which you translate as the blessing of life and which makes reference as much to the human life as to everything that surrounds us." |
