Daughter de Borikén - New Books Network en español

What this episode covers

Written as a love letter to her ancestral motherland, Daughter de Borikén (Editorial Pulpo, 2024) speaks to those who intimately know what it feels like to be diáspora-displaced. It is an ode to her guerrera ancestras and to the sacred archipelago of Borikén that gave them breath. In her poems, Lola shares her rage against the colonizers and an unconditional love for the land that, although it didn't birth her, she has always known as home. Lola Rosario Aponte es una fogosa defensora de Puerto Rico - Daughter de Borikén, es su primer poemario, una obra que parece ser la fruta de varias décadas de solidaridad descolonial y acción comunitaria. Rosario Aponte ha elaborado una especie de manifiesto de varias capas, atacando las realidades socioeconómicas, políticas y culturales colonialistas que enfrentan a la isla. Con una voz audaz y elocuente, aporta una perspectiva amplia sobre cómo desaprender las innumerables falsedades del colonialismo, empezando con la palabra. Su trabajo va desafiando las narrativas del colonialismo, entrelazando la identidad, la resistencia y la libertad en cada verso. Sus letras son un acto de reivindicación que apuesta por un futuro donde la cultura puertorriqueña exista sin el peso de la opresión, invitándonos a reflexionar sobre el pasado y a imaginar un mundo nuevo, donde el arte sea la herramienta de transformación y sanación colectiva.
