Corn does not seem to be a likely heroine, yet this epic poem brings her to life. In this tale of seed to mature plant, adaptation to the needs of those who love her, and ironic twists of plot as a vengeful captive in a foreign land, corn becomes a persona, as Corn Woman, Corn Mother. The story of the transformation of corn from wild plant to the mainstay of the great civilizations of the New World, as told here by Sue Littleton, is an enthralling, historicallly correct adventure. Corn Woman, Mujer Maiz is a bilingual epic poem, English and Spanish. The color illustrations include six works by Argentine painter Raul Conti, as well as paintings by several other North American artists. Photographs of Zuni corn fetishes and corn-related artifacts are included. The book is well researched, annotated, and tells the story of corn pre-Conquest to the present, from Peru to the Pueblo Indians of the southwest to the sprawling fields of the corn growing states.--Publisher's website.
