In many of the poems, Cortez reveals the hidden underworld of her fellow police officers, whose lives comprise the thin blue line and whose blood sometimes splashes and blackens on summer concrete. Using what poet Naomi Nye has called 'an organic sense of narrative,' Cortez brings the reader close, very close, to the complex family histories that have made her who she is--a woman whose warm self-worth is tucked safely in her right front trouser pocket. Aquarium And what of the water? A transparency we swim through, lithe white muscle, the glide of fins. We move and move forever inside reflections, refractions, ruckus from the other side. Our eyes never close. We see you coming. We don't think we're dinner. 606 $aPolicewomen$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01068789 606 $aPolice$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01068398 606 $aMexican American women$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01019031 606 $aBereavement$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00830665 606 $aBereavement$vPoetry 606 $aMexican American women$vPoetry 606 $aPolicewomen$zTexas$zHouston$vPoetry 606 $aPolice$zTexas$zHouston$vPoetry 607 $aTexas$zHouston$2fast 608 $aPoetry. 608 $aPoetry. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolicewomen. 615 0$aPolice. 615 0$aMexican American women. 615 0$aBereavement. 615 0$aBereavement 615 0$aMexican American women 615 0$aPolicewomen 615 0$aPolice 676 $a813/.6 700 $aCortez$b Sarah$01621008 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009289103321 997 $aUNINA
