Volcanic eruptions and waves collide in Yaccaira Salvatierra's explosive debut collection Sons of Salt, which explores the duality of personal and political landscapes as well as legacies of violence within Mexican-American communities. Sons of Salt poignantly captures the experiences of Mothers who battle for their sons' wellbeing, particularly when fathers are absent due to systemic oppressions. Salvatierra's verse breaks the bones of poetic form to bring attention to the failures of a Christian God who has categorically failed to protect His children, and gives birth instead to a god of nature. Weaving self-made mythology, mourning, and maternal fear into visual and narrative poems, Salvatierra creates a collection that probes the deepest hurt to ensure the holiest redemption.
