As Latinx writers in the UK, the forces that pulled and pushed our ancestors shatter any linear perspective. Another land of our childhood emerges. No longer the place of magical realism, we see and hear in retrospect what our parents were doing: creating a space for us to see the forest. The world. The planet.
