There are things that come through the poems that can only exist in poetry. This is what
@roqueraquel.bsky.social

sobre mi práctica de traducción. me alegra que sigan creciendo la cantidad de traducciones de textos puertorriqueños (en ambas direcciones). es importante que diáspora y archipiélago se hablen y sí, a veces hacen falta traductores de los nuestros. (1)

There is no greater compliment for an author than being asked to sign a book that is just WRECKED. Binding cracked. Pages curled. Finger grooves in the edges. A book that has been read to death, and is still a prized possession.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
