Abstract

Vincent Toro’s poetry and essays critique the ways that US actions in the wake of natural disasters damage Puerto Rican ecologies and culture. The entwinement of colonialism and natural disaster is the subject of Toro’s two collections, Stereo. Island. Mosaic. (2016) and Tertulia (2020). These collections instruct readers to toggle between close reading of language and formal analysis of genre and shape. In Stereo, Toro produces a geo-formal poetics that takes a Taíno hurricane zemi as its central organizing form, an aesthetic choice that foregrounds non-Western literary forms in communicating Puerto Rican economic and ecological atmospheres. In Toro’s collections, the air and atmosphere are sites where anti-colonial critique and aesthetic innovation merge.

文森特-托罗的飓风形式主义
文森特-托罗的诗歌和散文批判了美国在自然灾害发生后破坏波多黎各生态和文化的行为。殖民主义与自然灾害的纠缠是托罗两部诗集《立体声。岛。马赛克。(2016)和《Tertulia》(2020)。这两部作品集指导读者在语言的细读与体裁和形状的形式分析之间切换。在《立体声》中,托罗创作了一种地理形式诗学,以塔伊诺飓风泽米为中心组织形式,这种美学选择突出了非西方文学形式在传达波多黎各经济和生态氛围方面的作用。在托罗的诗集中,空气和大气是反殖民主义批判和美学创新融合的场所。
