(The public goals) for 2025

Written By Raina Leon

  • Complete the Acentos anthology

  • Complete edits for a collection of elena minor’s work

  • Research for the book on Aunt Doris (Doris Rheubottom-Hackley)

  • Consult for Black Lawrence Press (looking like Hybrid texts in March and Poetry in September)

  • Complete a Taino language course/learn basic language

  • Read PR history and contemporary texts

  • Do PR family ancestral history reclamation work

  • Complete my werewolf romance and get agent representation

  • See Wild Indigo develop into a quarterly workshop series

  • Grow the Esperimento Sul Respiro residency

  • Personally travel to Puerto Rico, Peru, Italy, South Carolina, Maine, Arizona, and either Kenya or Colombia this year

  • Building in times for rest and just dreaming and stillness

And sure I have relationship goals with my partner and health goals for myself, but here I’m focused on my work this year.
