Under the Flamboyán: Debajo del Flamboyán

By: Zilka Rosa Molinar

The poetry in Under the Flamboyán is about love, of nature, of a yearning for visibility. There are poems on discrimination the latinx community faces once immigrated into the United States or any other country, politics that affect us as a community, and poems of God, of identity, and acculturation with the fear of being called assimilated by one's peers that creates a powerful feeling of loneliness and isolation. Many of these poems are from the heart (del corazón).
