Brave Face: The Inspiring WWII Memoir of a Dutch/German Child
Fear chased her. Courage carried her.
When war shatters her childhood and robs her dreams, young Meta must choose: surrender to despair or find strength to pursue the future still within reach.
Luz Schweig Signing
The poems in this debut collection are strung together by an eventful survival narrative that resists assimilation and draws from Indigenous roots and nostalgia for place. Set in Mexico-Tenochtitlan and border towns, these poems address the lingering effects of historical invasions and displacement from one’s homeland through the intimate lens of family estrangement, fragmentation and the resultant grief. Luz Schweig negotiates the tension between native and immigrant experiences by weaving Spanish and Nahuatl words into English verse that, ultimately, joyfully celebrates identity complexities and ancestry beyond generational trauma.
