ABOUT #PLPR
Welcome to the Puerto Rican Literature Project (PLPR), a bilingual digital archive dedicated to preserving and celebrating the lives and cultural contributions of Puerto Rican writers from both the archipelago and the diaspora, in Spanish, English, and Spanglish. Created by a team of writers, scholars, translators, and digital humanists with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, this portal is the result of years of dedication and collective effort. As a living, evolving archive, PLPR continues to grow, expanding its collection to include novelists, short story writers, playwrights, and other authors of creative prose.
At PLPR, we believe that reading is an act of encounter and that poetry serves as a bridge, connecting experiences, emotions, and shared histories. In a world of constant change and resistance—amid threats to our identity, the struggle to preserve our language, and the realities of precarity—this space seeks to fortify the bonds between writers and readers, both within and beyond Puerto Rico.
PLPR is committed to making Puerto Rican poetry accessible, not only to scholars but to all who wish to engage with its depth and richness. More than just an archive of voices, this portal is an open invitation to dialogue, fostering connections between communities and engaging Puerto Rican literature in conversation with the world.
