When COVID-19 broke and the United States closed the border to travel, Alexandra Lytton Regalado was separated from family back in El Salvador. She wrote her latest colletion of poems, Relinquenda, a National Poetry Series winner, entirely during lockdown as a meditation on cancer, the passing of her father, and the renewed significance of community. Here she presents two poems, dedicated to love.
