Selected praise for Mother/land:

“There is so much unbridled joy and pained tenderness in Ananda Lima’s poetry […] Her voice is singular and wise and fresh.”—Cathy Park Hong

“Mother/land thoughtfully examines topics of immigration, family, and motherhood”—BuzzFeed

“Lima masterfully paints bilingual portraits of child-rearing, transformation, and place.”—Reader’s Digest

“For this speaker, hard-hitting questions about homeland, nationality, and citizenship persist, as does the search for a home. Mother/land gives breath to the immigrant’s bittersweet songs about what is gained with migration and what is lost, what can be recovered and what will remain out of reach.”-—Rigoberto González

“Masterful at tasking us look more deeply at the seemingly mundane”—Electric Literature

“A profound collection full of wisdom thanks to Lima’s singular vision and voice” —Chicago Reader

“Piercing and poignant, Lima’s voice and music stay with you.”—Julia Kolchinsky Dasbach
