About the book
Puerto Rican poet Vincent Toro's new collection takes the Latin American idea of an artistic social gathering (the 'tertulia') and revises it for the Latinx culture. In verses dense with juxtaposition, the collection examines immigration, economics, colonialism and race via the imagery of music, visual art, and history. Toro draws from his own social justice work in various U.S. cities to create a kaleidoscopic vision of the connections between the personal and the political, the local and the global, in a book that both celebrates and questions the complexities of the human condition.
