Acquisition Announcement: Emanuel Xavier May 18, 2023 – Posted in: Acquisition Announcement

Rebel Satori is pleased to announce that we have acquired international rights to Emanuel Xavier’s new collection of poetry Love(ly) Child.

Praise for Xavier’s work:

“A provocative voice of the Latinx liminal space, Xavier takes turns seducing and alerting the reader with a fearless sensuality and a knowing lack of regret.” — Ed Morales, journalist, filmmaker & poet

“For three decades, Emanuel Xavier has been our poet of the streets, of the balls, of the pier, through our loves, lives lost, and in the growth and ruin of our city.” — Sarah Schulman, author & activist

“Xavier is an accessible poet, but one who is unwilling to sacrifice the differences that make up our tangled identities for the sake of legibility or popularity. Blurring page and stage, lyric and narrative, humor and heartbreak, his poetry finds beauty in the most despised, a luminosity or radiance that is the other side of struggle and abjection, energy transferred at the limits of the page, where our bodies converge.” — Urayoán Noel, author & poet

“Xavier promotes a vital project within his poetry, the continuation and representation of multifaceted Latinx lived reality.” — a&u Magazine

Love(ly) Child will release in October 2023.
