Rumpus Original Poetry: Two Poems by Adela Najarro

September 9th, 2021

My mother’s words / explode volcanic vowels.

Adela Najarro’s Volcanic Interruptions comes out in 2022 from Jamii Press and includes original artwork by Janet Trenchard. The two poems that appear in The Rumpus are in that collection. Stay tuned for more information on how to purchase a copy. Adela is the author of three additional poetry collections: Split Geography, Twice Told Over and My Childrens, a chapbook that includes teaching resources. With My Childrens she hopes to bring poetry into the classroom so that students can explore creative writing, identity, and what it means to be Latinx in US society.
