Somehow 2022 was both one of the hardest and best years in recent memory. Gratitude to all the partners in art and writing—to the family and friends who walk this earth with me. I’m pretty excited to see what 2023 has in store for us. . . . . #poetsofinstagram #miamipoetry #2022 #2023 #miami #polaroid #staugustine #staugustinebeach (at Saint Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2aq0xP2_w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The Off-Shore residency felt like coming home." - Yaddyra Peralta Poetry featured in the On / Off-Shore anthology arose from two collaborative virtual residencies, titled “Off-Shore” and “On-Shore,” in the fall of 2021. Off-Shore paired Caribbean poets from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and San Andrés with Caribbean diaspora poets living in Miami, while On-Shore paired Caribbean diaspora poets living in Miami. To see the full collaboration between me and Cristina Bendek, plus many more, grab your copy of On / Off-Shore today! https://omiami.org/shop/on-off-shore

I’ve been spending whatever’s been left of the 9-5 lately working on what’s shaping up to be a manuscript I am incredibly proud of. But I’m also going a bit stir crazy. Today’s a day of setting some boundaries—feeding my soul—carrying it all forward through to the rest of 2022. . . . #poetsofinstagram #pamm #laborday #labordayweekend #art #mybook #poetry #poems (at Pérez Art Museum Miami) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiJEcMXPjry/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
