What does the poem uncoiling mean by pat mora?

In: Poetry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Pat Mora's Uncoiling is about a tornado. The poem is an extended personification of the tornado, with the wind shown as a powerful woman doing some unspecified native dance. In part other aspects of the landscape around El Paso are also personified, as when Mrs. Mora tells us:

boulders retreat like crabs
into themselves

Pat Mora appeals to a highly specific demographic in poetry: this poem invokes a powerful woman who works native magic. Readers who are attracted to such themes will find the poem enjoyable.
