The Puerto Rican Literature Project

Nicole Cecilia Delgado is a poet, translator, and book artist. Her writing, often reviewed within the framework of ecofeminism and land art, explores the subtleties and contrasts of everyday Puerto Rican and Caribbean life, with an emphasis on place and territory. Her collection of poems Periodo especial (Ediciones Aguadulce & La Impresora, 2019), explores the fiscal crisis in Puerto Rico through the socioeconomic mirrors of the Greater Antilles. She recently published A mano/By Hand (Ugly Duckling Presse Pamphlet Series 2020, La Impresora/EEE, 2023) and Adjacent Islands/islas adyacentes (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2022, translated to English by Urayoán Noel). 

Through her risograph studio and poetry press La Impresora—which she founded in 2016 and co-directs with poet Amanda Hernández—Delgado and her colleagues amplify the works of BIPOC artists and create a community around literature and independent books across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
