Future Botanic
Olivares, Christina
In Future Botanic Christina Olivares continues her interrogation of inheritance, history, legacy, queer love, and what is owed. From the Bronx to Cuba, the poetic voice and the poetic soul's eye is relentlessly, and yet tenderly, vigilant in seeing the world. Olivares' poems are lyrical meditations- in some cases, spells- that embody, vivify and reckon with the geography of the Americas and the centuries-long postcolonial condition.
