Tertulia

Vincent Toro's new poetry collection reimagines the Latin American concept of a social gathering, the tertulia, within the Latinx experience in the United States. Through dense, vivid verses, the collection explores themes of immigration, colonialism, race, and economics, drawing on imagery from music, art, and history. Rooted in Toro's social justice work, it offers a nuanced reflection on the interconnectedness of personal and political realities, celebrating and questioning the complexities of the human condition.
