Ricantations by
Loretta Collins Klobah is a collection of poetry grounded in various historical
moments and perspectives of key figures throughout the history of Puerto Rico;
often integrating American and Latin historical political references in her
poems.
Klobah crafts stories about subjects living in present day
while also allowing the reader to sense a remnants of past struggles such as in
her poem “He Talks to a Butterfly.” In other poems such as “Ricantation”, she gives
very detailed looks into lives of those experiencing moments in history (Hurricane
Maria).
All of the poems are accompanied by notes and a glossary that
can be found in the back of the book to give readers more context into each poem.
