Reflecting her personal journey across geographies and languages, Susana’             s poems move between English and Spanish, and capture the tempo of ambient sounds, such as drumbeats of bomba, or a black-plumed chango chirping at dawn. She unflinchingly explores the daily struggles Puerto Rico faces, while exuberantly celebrating the island’             s culture, its peoples, and the concept of “             return”             . This is a voyage via words the reader will remember long after turning the last page.","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46538909188351,"sku":"9781625570833","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_3c1920fc-da7e-474b-b6cf-e8fe1646a992.jpg?v=1738023383","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781625570833","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
