Handling Destiny

By Adrian Castro

Enchanting both the ear and the soul, this collection is the third in Adrian Castro's series on the diasporic triangle of Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. Deeply spiritual, laced with history and myth, and interspersed with Spanish and the Yoruba dialect, these poems "keep flying forward / Sank fa-like / looking back into history at us." Tempered by loss and memories of the migratory experience (forced and otherwise), they give voice to the legacy of these regions and their people, creating a poetic atlas of cultures.
