Red Seed: Poems for Luno
Cruz Alejandra Lucas Juarez
Translated from Tutunaku by Wendy Call
Red Seed: Poems for Luno, by Cruz Alejandra Lucas Juarez, is a Tutunaku poetry collection from Mexico, translated by Wendy Call, Whitney DeVos, published by Cardboard House Press in 2026. It is a Tutunaku collection from Mexico where Indigenous language, address, seed, and future life are held together. Lucas Juarez's poems feel important because they make translation a form of carrying forward, not only from one language to another but from one generation toward another. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can be felt. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Mexico; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.
