"Hechizo Para Congelar"

New Poem by Li Yun Alvarado & Josmara Alvarado
published in UnMargin

My cousin & comadre Josmara Alvarado and I joined forces to write a poetic spell: “Hechizo Para Congelar” that is included in this timely and necessary online collection: Incantations: The SCOTUS Decision in Trump v. Hawaii :: 585 U.S. __ (2018) published in UnMargin.

From Kenji C. Liu's introduction:
"We live in a legal regime akin to a witch-demon-evil spirit system, currently being used to weave a fascism that is quickly moving from proto to actual. In the face of this, I put out a call for contributions of magic spells in response to SCOTUS’ Trump v. Hawaii decision and the incarceration of children and families in ICE concentration camps...

In addition to protesting, building complex communities of resistance and vision, and self-care practices, writers also have language, one of the original magicks. We too can summon our own enchantments, incantations, protections, charms, curses, hexes, blessings, auguries, banishments, and more. Through these spells, we 14 writers exercise and focus our imaginations, visions, and energies.”

Featured Poets:
Poets featured in the collection include: Kenji C. Liu (editor), Hari Alluri, LiYun Alvarado, Josmara Alvarado, Cathy Linh Che, Ching-In Chen, Kazumi Chin, -francine j. harris, Traci Akemi Kato-kiriyama, Sham E-Ali Nayeem, Tiana Nobile, Tracy Held Potter, Sun Yung Shin, Vanessa Angélica, and Elaine Wang.

Josmara Alvarado and Li Yun Alvarado 
are cousins and comadres who visit la familia in Salinas, PR as often they can. Josmara is an herbalist, Reiki practitioner, tarot reader, artisan, and educator; you can follow her on Instagram: @jmara_b3l3n. Li Yun is the author of Words or Water and Nuyorico, CA; you can learn more about her work and efforts on behalf of Puerto Rico at www.liyunalvarado.com
