In the months following Hurricane Maria’s passage over Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican poets, translators, book artists, & editors Erica Mena, Raquel Salas Rivera, Ricardo Maldonado & Carina del Valle Schorske came together to curate poetry as a response to the disaster. This book is the result. Fort Puerto Rican poets presented bilingually, some for the first time, are collected here from across the island and the diaspora, and brought into the conversation with one another in these pages.

Still, we feel new incantations of something primal in us, allied by our hurricane grief, disordered, but sentient of how we are related, neighbors, iguanas, honey bees, bats, birds, trees, islands. 

What is possible now? Can we do some things differently now?
