Author Description

Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Bilingual Edition. ELEGÍA/ELEGY is baptized by queer loss and losing. Each section deifies lost cuir/queer loves, closing the distance between deity (queer icon) and fam. The book delves into the (im)possibility of building between lo cuir boricua and the queerness of being boricua in the diaspora. It invites the reader to "learn to tell the difference between our love and theirs," and to see, in this difference, a way forward.
