From the winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize come eloquent narratives of protest, grief, and tenderness. Martín Espada bears witness to confrontation with anti-immigrant bigotry as a tenant lawyer years ago, and now signs the praises of Central American adolescents playing soccer in as internment camp founded on that same bigotry. He knows that time of hate also call for poems of love-even in the voice of a Galápagos tortoise. Whether he celebrates the visionaries-fallen dreamers, rebels, and poets-or condemns the devastation of Hurricane Maria and official negligence in his father's Puerto Rico, Espada invokes ferocious, incandescent spirits.
