Puerto Rico en Mi Corazón

Puerto Rico en mi corazón / Puerto Rico In My Hearted. Carina del Valle Schorske, Ricardo Maldonado, Erica Mena & Raquel Salas Riveraart by Mariana Ramos OrtizIn the weeks and months of fall 2017, 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 a poetry project as a response to the disaster. This book is the result. Forty contemporary Puerto Rican poets, presented bilingually—some for the first time—are collected here from across the island and the diaspora, and brought into conversation with one another in these pages. This book grew out of a project to raise money for Hurricane Maria relief, in which over 15 letterpress printers made handmade broadsides of 20 poems by poets in this collection. Individual broadsides and complete sets are still available at www.etsy.com/shop/AnomalousBooks, and more information can be found at www.prenmicorazon.orgIncluding poems by: Joey de Jesus, Nicole Delgado, Kenning JP García, Yara Liceaga, Lara Mimosa Montes, Urayoan Noel, Nicole Sealey & more.
