Orfeito is a sweeping bilingual poetry collection inspired by the enduring Orpheus tradition—from classical mythology to its Black Atlantic reinterpretations. Through interconnected poems, Ricardo Nazario y Colón follows a Puerto Rican boy whose journey carries him from the island to New York and beyond, where family history, migration, Afro-Caribbean spirituality, first love, grief, memory, and cultural inheritance converge into an intimate coming-of-age epic. Moving effortlessly between English and Spanish, the collection is rich with music, myth, and spellbinding storytelling, revealing how identity is not inherited whole but forged across borders, languages, and generations.
