Edition of 200.

The first bilingual book by Puerto Rican poet, translator, and publisher Nicole Cecilia Delgado, Objetos Encontrados / Found Objects collects poems from Delgado’s books published in Mexico and Puerto Rico between 2007 and 2019. Each poem appears both in the original Spanish and in English translation, thanks to translators Carina del Valle Schorske, Katie Marya, Urayoán Noel, and Raquel Salas Rivera. Delgado’s poems combine a clear-eyed assessment of the devastating effects of US neoliberal colonialism in Puerto Rico with wry wit and an eye for the hope to be found in friendship, nature, and poetry itself.

These poems were previously published in the books intemperie (2007), el cristal con que se mira (Honda Nómada, 2008), Violencias cotidianas (Literal, 2009), La sed de los oráculos (2.0.1.2 Editorial, 2012), Sucede que yo soy América (La Impresora, 2015), Apenas un cantáro: Poemas 2007-2017 (Aguadulce, 2017), Días naturales (La Impresora, 2018), and Periodo especial (Aguadulce/La Impresora, 2019). Objetos encontrados / Found Objects is the first book produced through our Stabilized Editions Apartment Residency.
