Home as an archipelago of belonging

In this conversation with advaya, Craig Santos Perez discusses archipelagic poetics and thinking, the history and politics and culture of Guam, homemaking and homebuilding as a diasporic individual, the ocean as metaphor, and archipelagic kin-making. Craig speaks to us with and from his background as a migratory, global islander, an indigenous Chamoru (Chamorro) from the Pacific Island of Guåhan (Guam), as a poet, environmentalist, political activist, and a father.
