Maria Bolanos

Sana Maria Bolanos

Sana sings of the ways in which myth becomes life: how we invent our own selves, our memories of home, our relationship with family, our understanding of love. These poems are at once stories of migration and diaspora, and prayers seeking refuge in community. In this debut chapbook, we journey with Maria Bolaños to worlds of expansive imagination; we sit with her in small and intimate tenderness. The heroes and monsters in these pages call across oceans of longing and loss, asking us to listen.
