Heartbeats, Rhythms, And Fire is José Angel Figueroa's new poetry and prose collection. A leading writer of the Nuyorican literary movement, Figueroa is best known for his powerful social commentary. A master of poetic storytelling, visual imagery, and metaphor, his writings-sometimes lyrical and rhythmic, sometimes autobiographical, and sometimes politically charged- do not fit neatly into one category. Heartbeats, Rhythms, And Fire explores universal themes of the human experience as well as major present-day social concerns. Poems, personal essays, monologues, and elegies deliver an intriguing range of storytelling approaches. Figueroa invites the reader to question the origins of self, the roots of love, and the unpredictability vibrating from everyday life. Figueroa's accounts of migration journeys and struggles against racism offer an insider perspective. His narratives of immigration, poverty, and violence against women uplift the voices of everyday people, while others capture the passion and fire of activists who toppled the governor of Puerto Rico in 2019, of Erica Garner who fought against police violence, and of Oscar Lopez Rivera, the former Puerto Rican political prisoner. This impressive collection is a voyage that ebbs and flows arriving to what remains when you "can't kill relentless faith born from the spirituals of stardust and many rivers."

Pioneering novelist and short-story writer Nicholasa Mohr broke onto the literary scene of ethnic autobiography in the early 1970s, but it took another decade for other Puerto Rican women writers in the United States to follow the path that she cut. From the late 1970s on, a dynamic group of these writers have expanded the landscape of American literature. Kissing the Mango Tree is the first and only book to examine the works of the most popular Puerto Rican women writers from the perspective of feminist literary criticism. Rivera reconstructs the ethno-feminist aesthetic of Judith Ortiz Cofer, Sandra María Esteves, Nicholasa Mohr, Aurora Levins Morales, Rosario Morales, Esmeralda Santiago, and Luz María Umpierre-Herrera. In separate chapters dedicated to each of these writers, the author locates their works within the framework of feminist theory and literature, seeing them as "women with macho asserting their creative powers to record their own versions of their memories, to own their own bodies. . . They transform the way we look at the process of growing up and becoming a woman, at the relationship with our mothers and our daughters, at the fluidity of our lives, at our notions of nationhood . . ." This groundbreaking study is accompanied by a complete bibliography of the six writers' works and secondary sources of feminist, Latino, and ethno-poetic criticism and theory.

BORICUA PASSPORT evokes the complex in-betweeness that represents the contemporary Puerto Rican condition as filtered through the prism of poet J.L. Torres’ life experience. For many Puerto Ricans the sense of being unhomed—having a homeland but not really feeling at home anywhere—is a real lived experience determined by a persisting and unsettled colonial condition. In BORICUA PASSPORT, Torres, screams, shouts, rejoices, celebrates, tickles and challenges with a poetry sprinkled with Spanish/Spanglish that is immediate and urgent. His is a testimony to the indefatigable Puerto Rican spirit which, although burdened by this colonial condition, still strives to cobble a hybrid world full of love, passion and hope. BORICUA PASSPORT will transport any reader into this limbo world with all its fascinating incongruities and descriptive vistas. It’s your passport into a world simultaneously real and imaginary, one most people don’t even know exists. A must read!

Roberta Fernàndez has gathered the best and most representative examples of fiction, poetry, drama and essay currently being written by Latina writers of the United States. The work is arranged by genre, and topics are as varied as the voices and styles of the writers: the challenge of living in two cultures; experiencing marginality as a result of class, ethnicity, and/or gender; Latina feminism; the celebration of oneÍs culture and its people. Most of the pieces are in English and some are presented bilingually in English and Spanish. A preface and an introduction by the editor and a foreword by the noted critic of Latin American literature, Jean Franco, serve to contextualize the writers and their work; a primary and secondary bibliography serves as an appendix.
