Overview

Dream of Xibalba, Stephanie Adams-Santos's incantatory long poem, draws the reader into a dreamworld where the barrier between life and death grows porous, populated by ancestors and spirits. The influence of such poets as Cecilia Vicuña, Federico García Lorca, and Yvan Goll is evident here, yet Adams-Santos's voice and vision are entirely her own. Selected by Jericho Brown as the winner of The 2021 Orison Poetry Prize, Dream of Xibalba is an epic work of cultural and spiritual significance.
