Set in a precarious landscape--lush, tropical but geographically vulnerable to threats of natural disaster--The Rooted and Recurrent reflectively and often lyrically explores the self, family history, and existing and encroaching challenges where the personal and political are fused together. Written during a formidable time when the country experienced political upheaval, a horrific pandemic, and individual isolation, the poems are rooted in an acute sense of place, complete with live oaks, sweet olive, and satsumas that not only tell us where and when, but more importantly forge an identity by recounting memories that are powerful and generative. The poems in the collection have recurrent themes of family, loss, and change, both personal and environmental. Ultimately, they aim to make personal connections and invite the reader to become emotionally tethered.
