In many cultures, a caul is considered talismanic; and a child born with it, possessing luck or protection. Luisa A. Igloria invokes this metaphor to weave poems exploring the veiled intervals of transition experienced by those in the diaspora-- or by anyone who has felt a severing from their origins. The poems in Caulbearer enter spaces not only of nostalgia, loss, and impossible return. They also offer opportunities for glimpsing pleasure in the re-imagining and telling of our own stories, for as long and as many times as we need, in a world still full of beauty and mystery.
Originally from Baguio City, Luisa A. Igloria is the author of Maps for Migrants and Ghosts, The Buddha Wonders if She is Having a Mid-Life Crisis, and 12 other books. She is lead editor, along with co-editors Aileen Cassinetto and Jeremy S. Hoffman, of Dear Human at the Edge of Time: Poems on Climate Change in the United States. In 2015, she was the inaugural recipient of the Resurgence Poetry Prize, the world's first major award for ecopoetry, selected by a panel headed by former UK Poet Laureate Andrew Motion. She is a professor of English and Creative Writing at Old Dominion University.
