From the Publisher
"Seasons of Mangoes and Brainfire explodes into a multiple reflection on territories, culture, flesh, and mind. This surefooted narrator seems compelled to know everything our worlds are made of, every stitch and seam of the song. Imagistic perception, futuristic at times, and a keen clarity fulfill the mission of these poems: that is, to bring us an exacting passion, and insight into ourselves." -- Yusef Komunyakaa, Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry
"In Seasons of Mangoes and Brainfire Carolyne Wright makes the exotic both familiar and necessary while somehow managing to make her own presence in the gorgeously imagined documentary of the human spirit equally compelling. Brilliantly seen. Passionately rendered. Here is the spirit of the international artist. Here is a book I couldn't put down." -- Roger Weingarten, editor of New American Poets
"Carolyne Wright transports the reader into a mesmerizing journey of human history, wherein the victims and the victimizers capture the essence of our own inhumanity as well as the desire for meaning in a meaningless world. We become enveloped in Wright's vivid and profoundly humane language--a language of both sorrow and hope. Seasons of Mangoes and Brainfire is a true gem." -- Marjorie Agosin, author of At the Threshold of Memory --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
