TO THE RIVER, WE ARE MIGRANTS

$16.95

TO THE RIVER, WE ARE MIGRANTS is Ayendy Bonifacio’s debut collection. In this nostalgic volume, the image of the river carries us to and away from home. The river is a timeline that harkens back to Bonifacio’s childhood in the Dominican Republic and ends with the sudden passing of his father.

Through panoramic and time-bending gazes, TO THE RIVER, WE ARE MIGRANTS leads us through the rural foothills of Bonifacio’s birthplace to the streets of East New York, Brooklyn. These lyrical poems, using both English and Spanish, illuminate childhood visions and memories and, in doing so, help us better understand what it means to be a migrant in these turbulent times.
