Lo terciario / The Tertiary by Raquel Salas Rivera

Let me start by saying that it’s entirely possible that I just didn’t get this book of NBA longlisted poems. This presents a collection of poems in both English and Spanish looking at economic and social issues in Puerto Rico. The book builds off of a translation of Marx and seems to be critiquing economic principles as they relate to the debt in PR, as well as its relationship to the US. There are also poems about her struggles to get her family to accept her sexual orientation.
