cover of EMPIRE by Xochiquetzal Candelaria

“I am amazed at the poetic reach and depth of Xochiquetzal’s work—the Totonac encounter with Europe, Leda and Orpheus, Pancho Villa, the Mekong Delta, and the sensual silvery emulsions of memoria, desire and love.”

Juan Felipe Herrera

“When I entered the poetic field of Xochiquetzal Candelria’s words, I did not want to leave. I remain compelled by the bravery, by the audacity of images, by the stunning leaps.”

Joy Harjo
