Barbara Kingsolver’s collections include Another America/Otra America (1992), a bilingual English-Spanish poetry collection, and How to Fly (2020), a short prose collection.

Another America/Otra America presents Kingsolver’s poems alongside Spanish translations, reflecting her long engagement with Latin American culture and her years living in the Southwest. The poems address immigration, poverty, and the lives of people on both sides of the border. It remains her only book of poetry.

How to Fly (2020) collects short writings in a very different format. The book gathers brief, reflective pieces that read like lyric essays. These two collections sit at the edges of Kingsolver’s body of work, away from the novels and long-form nonfiction that made her famous, but they show a writer comfortable working at almost any length.
