Red Like Earth by Solange Aguilar
Red Like Earth by Solange Aguilar
Red is passion. Red is history. Red is the color of homelands and skin. Solange Aguilar's Red Like Earth is a raw and real reclamation of heart, body, and land.
This new collection centers the color red and the three main tenets of Aguilar's gut feelings: love, anger, and their Indigenous identity. Moving through poems that paint the complexity of identity, culture and land politics, each reader rediscovers their connection to the ground beneath their feet. Love is renewed in colors, tastes, and memories.
Join Aguilar on their journey of reclamation. Find your own meaning in red.
i am the angel who has fallen from grace
yes, i am that 99% you wish i would just wake up
one day and change and yes, i am not going to
change it not for you, not for anyone i am
