Kerenn Irias

In a Time of Estrangement

             after Ilya Kaminsky
 
Papa who lived
through occupation
through Space Jam
and genocide
who slept
through sirens
calls me
halu
calls me his
monkey
so special
& fully limbed
 
Though I tell him I respond best to emails and google invites,
that no one talks to their fathers this often,
 
he calls again / last time / he swears / we / won’t
/be / severed / by capitalism / or war

Biography

​Kerenn Irias, a Latinx poet and former DACA recipient, hails from Newark, New Jersey.  Much of her writing has to do with the intersection of multi-cultural ethnicity, feminism, and environmental justice. Her work has only been published once, in the Academy of American Poets college prize competition. She has a pending publication for the What You Need to Know About Me anthology by the Hawkin's Project.
