Description
Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Latinx Studies. PANDEMIA & OTHER POEMS comes to the world as a salve to a trifecta of crises—border issues of children in cages and immigrants being held in tent cities to wait with little or no hope; a virus that has crippled the world forcing us to reevaluate and test our resolve as survivors; and the ongoing issue of police brutality stirring protests around the world. Vidaurre is a poet who wants to help people, and who works through "the ghostly streets of uncertainty" in the midst of this pandemia with dreams, hope—and love, always, there is love. "There is a different quality to these poems," writes Odilia Galván Rodríguez, "a maturity that comes with mas golpes de la vida."
