Por fin! La poesía de Janel Pineda acaba de llegar a Asunción! Una maravilla, una preciosidad, la poesía, la portada. Necesitaba tener el libro físico. 💜
Well, it’s happened. For opposing genocide, I’ve been uninvited from speaking on a historic panel alongside Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ & Reyna Grande for @inlierLearning. Here’s your notice that Inlier can’t differentiate between condoning violence & supporting liberation. #FREEPALESTINE 🇵🇸
Poet Sara Borjas is haunted in the same way I am—a disembodied sense of unbelonging in the afterlives of colonization, of having practices and memories we can never claim, grief that we will never be claimed. 'Decolonialish Self-Portrait' is about that stranding, apt for today.
Janel Pineda’s ‘Mujer Malvada’ is today’s poem of the day 🎉😘♥️ everyone check out her amazing chapbook, ‘Lineage of Rain’ Haymarket Books
It was my honor to curate today’s young poet, Janel Pineda, Janel Pineda, and her poem “Mujer Malvada,” about the Central American chimera La Siguanaba, whom Pineda reads in the context of gendered violence. The link is currently broken so please read it here!
“This poem is addressed to La Siguanaba, a mythic figure who appears across Central American mythologies as a demonic, vengeful woman with the face of a mare who lives by the river and preys on evil men.”
