Synopsis
Enchanting both the ear and the soul, this collection is the third in Adrian Castro’s series on the diasporic triangle of Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. Deeply spiritual, laced with history and myth, and interspersed with Spanish and the Yoruba dialect, these poems “keep flying forward / Sankófa-like / looking back into history at us.” Tempered by loss and memories of the migratory experience (forced and otherwise), they give voice to the legacy of these regions and their people, creating a poetic atlas of cultures.

He is the author of Cantos to Blood & Honey, Wise Fish, and most recently, Handling Destiny.
