Enchanted Air: Two Cultures, Two Wings: A Memoir brings us a memoir in free verse that conveys the story of growing up in two cultures during an era of great tension between the United States and Cuba. Poet Margarita Engle takes her young audience on a journey of longing. It is a story that touches on issues affecting numerous immigrant children today.
- Enchanted Air: Two Cultures, Two Wings shares this same passion, but its deeply personal nature as a memoir-in-verse sets it apart from her other books. As a coming-of-age memoir-in-verse, it’s a unique and engaging way to introduce students to the genres of memoir and autobiography through poetry.
- But most of the time she lives in Los Angeles, lonely in the noisy city and dreaming of the summers when she can take a plane through the enchanted air to her beloved island. Words and images are her constant companions, friendly and comforting when the children at school are not. Then a revolution breaks out in Cuba.
- As a memoir-in-verse, Enchanted Air is a series of poems that create an autobiography. Write your own poetic autobiography. Write your own poetic autobiography. It can span a significant number of years the way that Engle’s does, or it can focus on a shorter period of your life.
The book was published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division.
“Engle’s memoir of living in two cultures and the inability to cross the sky to visit family will resonate with youth facing similar circumstances,” said Pavon.
