MIAMI, September 14, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Indie Earth Publishing has announced the release of "Still," a poetry collection by Renzo Del Castillo that delves into the immigrant experience. The book arrives a month prior to the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and seeks to shed light on the multifaceted life experiences of immigrants.

Renzo Del Castillo, originally from Lima, Peru, explores the journey of a family who move to Miami, Florida as political refugees and asylum seekers. The collection of poems captures the transformative life stages of a young boy growing into a man amidst navigating between two cultures.

“We left Peru when I was five because my family had received death threats from a terrorist organization. We went from being comfortable to starting from zero. I knew I would have to adapt to make a life worth living," Del Castillo said in a statement.

The book comes at a timely moment, coinciding with National Hispanic Heritage Month. The collection features poems in three languages and aims to bridge cultural divides. Del Castillo emphasizes the shared experiences of Hispanics, suggesting that "when the reader finds something to relate to in these pages, a dialogue starts and shows people aren't that different underneath it all."

"Still" was released on July 30, 2023, and is available for purchase wherever books are sold (ISBN: 979-8988037996).

Renzo Del Castillo holds a B.A. in English from the University of Florida, specializing in Victorian Literature, and an M.A. in Mass Communications, specializing in Intercultural Communications. He has been published in various literary outlets including Literary Yard, the Acentos Review, the Scarlet Leaf Review, and the Ekphrastic Review.
