Preorder Peregrina/ Pilgrim Poems

Conocimientos Press is delighted to bring you our first acquisition of poetry:

Moving between English and Spanish, Peregrina / Pilgrim creates a resonant space where meaning fractures and reforms, where memory and witness converge. The collection refuses to look away—from refugee journeys, courtrooms, and deportation orders—while also carrying moments of joy, mercy, and unyielding hope. Here poetry and images cross the borderlands of language, lineage, and survival with fierce lyric intensity. First-person testimonies emerge from migrants, asylum seekers, and the poet's own life in language that holds the weight of exile, the pulse of endurance, and the human heart's insistence on belonging.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ana María Fores Tamayo advocates for marginalized refugee families from Mexico, Central America, and most recently, many other countries from which people flee. Working with asylum seekers is heart-wrenching, so poetry and photography are her escape. She has published in The Raving Press, Main Street Rag, Laurel Review, Shenandoah, and many other anthologies and journals, online and in-print. Her poetry in translation and photography have been featured in the US and internationally. Ediciones Valparaiso in Spain published a Spanish language edition of PEREGRINA, in June 2022.
