Using modes of confession, ekphrasis, and biblical persona, Pentimento excavates a queerness entangled in one’             s faith tradition. Whether seeking to understand his relationship to god, friends, or family, Garcia interrogates questions that arise on the path to self-acceptance. In “             Self-Portrait as a Virgin,”              a biblical persona asks, “             How else are we to take words whole \/ in our mouths, except as they are given?”              Concerned with naming, desire, love, and belonging, \u003ci\u003ePentimento\u003c\/i\u003e is a response to a kind of annunciation, the almost supernatural calling of the artist to find words through which the self is free to move.","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46538898538751,"sku":"9781625570673","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_7e983874-384d-481d-bbf1-482e1e3c7b93.jpg?v=1738023328","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781625570673","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
