Winner of the 2021 National Book Award for Poetry
From the winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize come masterfully crafted
narratives of protest grief and love
Martn Espada is a poet who stirs in us an undeniable social consciousness
says Richard Blanco Floaters offers exuberant odes and defiant elegies
songs of protest and songs of love from one of the essential voices in
American poetry
Floaters takes its title from a term used by certain Border Patrol agents
to describe migrants who drown trying to cross over The title poem responds
to the viral photograph of scar and Valeria a Salvadoran father and
daughter who drowned in the Ro Grande and allegations posted in the Im 1015
Border Patrol Facebook group that the photo was faked Espada bears eloquent
witness to confrontations with antiimmigrant bigotry as a tenant lawyer
years ago and now sings the praises of Central American adolescents kicking
