World Making in Nepantla is a balm. It demonstrates the seismic shifts that COVID has wrought and the damage done as many institutions behave as though the shifts have not occurred. The fierce trio of coeditors has gathered a range of truth tellers, across genres, generations, and geographies, who make space for soul-deep expressions of solidarity, grief, and--importantly--improvisation/innovation. The essays, photographs, poems, and critical personal narratives housed here do much to remind us that truths must be expressed in the forms they demand. The tenderness and grit, the clarity and possibility offered in World Making in Nepantla bodes well for a world where we can confront the hard and fragile places with wisdom, love, and generosity. This book can guide us there.--Omi Osun Joni L. Jones, University of Texas at Austin, author of Theatrical Jazz: Performance, Àse, and the Power of the Present Moment
