In this chapbook, Najarro’s poems and Trenchard’s paintings dialog about the feminine as power and life force, where volatility is strength and symbolized through the theme of vulcanism. Najarro’s poems and Trenchard’s paintings draw on vibrant earth energy so that the written word and image come together in conversation. In addition, theirs is a fiery collaboration between cultures where Latinx and White coexist, harmonize, and create a vision for a world where the vitality of women is highlighted in art.

The Author
Adela Najarro
Adela Najarro is the author of three poetry collections: Split Geography, Twice Told Over and My Childrens, a chapbook that includes teaching resources. With My Childrens she hopes to bring Latinx poetry into the high school and college classroom so that students can explore poetry, identity, and what it means to be a person of color in US society. Her extended family’s emigration from Nicaragua to San Francisco began in the 1940’s and concluded in the eighties when the last of the family settled in the Los Angeles area.
