Ima and Coli are the tree that was never a seed = Ima y Coli son el arbol que nunca fue semilla / by Alejandro Pérez-Cortés ; introuction by José Kozer ; translated from Spanish by Sean Manning.
"Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed is Alejandro Pérez-Cortés's personal genesis of Colima, Mexico, published here in both English and Spanish. The tree is an element/character in the book that appears and disappears throughout. Some poems are set in an ancient pre-Hispanic Colima; others reflect the reality of a modern-day Colima, sadly stigmatized and eroded by violence perpetrated by the narcos."-- Page 4 of cover.
