After a long absence, Vel has come home to Chocó – to the Afro-Colombian community, to her family, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where she’s establishing herself anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mount Florida Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45125391745268,"sku":"9781913867768","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781913867768.jpg?v=1714658930","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.info\/products\/tidal-waters-by-velia-vidal","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
