An
Interview with Brenda Cárdenas
Praise for From the Tongues of Brick
and Stone
This is a brave and beautiful book
in which we are invited to partake in an unflinching look at
how language divides us and brings us together much like the
political strife that Cárdenas writes about. Cárdenas
bear witness at a time when many want to look the other way.
We can only be grateful.

Brenda
creates a sonic calligraphy, hand-thrown spirals of spirit—time
and ancestral voices cast into our disheveled present, rocking
our perceptions, creating new rhythms of
and for the tender bodies we inhabit. Listen to her conjure the
sacred space of boulevard raves, displaced territories and peoples
and familia love
