Décimarinas” and iDécimas

Abstract

“Décimarinas” and “iDécimas” are two complementary suites of poems I wrote for my collection titled “Stereo.Island.Mosaic.” The book is conceptually inspired by the work of the Caribbean literary theorist Armando Benitez-Rojo, particularly his assertion that for Caribbean people time does not move on a single plane in a single direction, but rather it moves multilaterally like sea currents, back and forth, inside and outside, upward and downward, all simultaneously.
