“Nature Springs From Her” by Kalichi Lamar, pyrography on a wood panel, was inspired by the ceiba tree, the national tree of Borikén (Puerto Rico). It is also the sacred tree of her people, the indigenous Taínos. Rather than say more here, we’ll let Kalichi, Taína, and some of our authors explore the significance of “Nature Springs From Her” and RENASCENCE through a series on Facebook Live.

Today’s contributor is Christine C. Hsu.

Christine C. Hsu is a writer, playwright, and poet based in Oakland, California. She has been published by The Bold Italic, xoJane, KQED, ABC News Radio Online, Slipform Poetry Anthology 2020, and DropOut Literary Magazine. Her play “I Love You But . . .” was a finalist in the Negro Ensemble Company - 10 Minute Play Competition, and her play “Faith” is a finalist for the Crafton Hills College - New Works Festival 2021.

Taína is a Baltimore-based Higuaygua Taíno writer, on a mission to write the Taíno culture into existence the same way the colonizers have attempted to erase it: one word, one Taíno at a time. Her essay “Killing Ty” appeared in Yellow Arrow Journal Vol. V, No. 1 RESILIENCE and was nominated for a 2021 Pushcart Prize.
