Natalia Toledo's The Black Flower and Other Zapotec Poems, with an award-winning translation by Clare Sullivan, describes contemporary Isthmus Zapotec life in lush, sensual detail. In Toledo's poems of love and loss the world's population turns into fish, death is a cricket, and naked women are made of wet magma. The Black Flower won the Nezhualcóoacute;yotl Prize, Mexico's highest honor for indigenous-language literature, in 2004. FINALIST FOR THE 2016 NATIONAL TRANSLATION AWARD! LONGLISTED FOR THE 2016 BEST TRANSLATED BOOK AWARD!
Natalia Toledo has written four books of poetry and two of prose, all appearing in bilingual Isthmus Zapotec-Spanish editions.
