Rolando Kattan's Bullet-Proof Vest: Poems introduces into English a major poetic voice from Honduras, emerging against a long history of cultural and literary erasure. Writing through the lived lens of Honduras, through the crucial lens of his Palestinian heritage, Kattan moves across geographies and inheritances, a seeker going beyond the limits of national and ethnic identity. Here poetry is a site of encounter, a way to reckon with the past, a way to confront the present, a way of survival, a way back home.
