Elvira Espejo Ayca - KIRKI QHAÑI – Container of Andean Poetics

KIRKI QHAÑI – Container of Andean Poetics by Elvira Espejo Ayca is a collection of essays and poems/songs situating Aymara ancestrality and Andean Poetics within the ongoing decolonization project.  The book is a beautiful archive of Andean traditions and a powerful call to address urgent futures. KIRKI QHAÑI is in itself a bag of diverging moments and temporalities, a collection of innumerable voices, a container of Andean poetics. Introductions by Bolivian-German writer, curator and philosopher, Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz; professor in the Department of Literature at the Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Miguel Rocha Vivas; and INCA Press founders Aeron Bergman and Alejandra Salinas.
