Overview

Red Like Earth is a collection of poems that centers around the color red and the three main emotions Aguilar associates with it: love, anger, and their Indigenous identity. Red is passion. Red is history. Red is the color of homelands and skin. Red Like Earth is a raw and real look at poetry through a lens of reclamation of the heart, the body, and the land. Solange Aguilar moves us through a collection of poems that seek to paint the complexity of identity, culture and land politics, and love in the colors, tastes, and memories of being a body in a tender yet breaking world.
