On the Tip of Your Mother's Tongue, J. P. Infante
Description
JP Infante's debut prose poetry chapbook won the 4th Annual Wavelengths Chapbook Contest in 2020. Now, it's being republished with gusto. On the Tip of Your Mother's Tongue is a dual language (English-Spanish) collection of prose and poetry. Expanded & revised, it is a story of a son grappling with his mother's mental health and his stepfather's overdose in Washington Heights, New York City. Capturing the disastrous toll of the criminalization of drug use on communities, families, and individuals, Infante pairs literature with buying cocaine, screen time with addiction, and cinema with harm reduction. It's modern literature for New Yorkers & U.S. Americans. Critical, gritty, & emboldening, JP Infante is a masterful scholar of contemporary inner-city life.
