He publishedLgrimas y flores, a collection of his poetry, in 1918. Translated here by Rhi Johnson, Castros poems provide a window into an overlooked literary culture.Johnson and Joy Castro open this bilingual edition with an introduction detailing the writers biography, literary context, and cultural milieu.Tears and Flowershighlights questions of national identity, migration, belonging, and courtship in Cuban migr society, connects Florida to the Spanish-speaking communities of the Caribbean and Spain, and recovers the literary archive of a rich moment in US and Latinx history for a contemporary audience. Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
