Release on Burrow Press in the Fall of 2026
I’m so excited to share that I’ve been working over the last year in collaboration with the talented Jennine Capo Crucet on our forthcoming book, Gilded Revival. We’ve spent the last year in conversations on everything from Dadeland Mall to an azabache’s effect on generational curses and the results are scheduled for release this fall.
Gilded Revival is a gold-plated collaboration between two of Miami’s devoted daughters: the visual artist Crystal Pearl Molinary and the writer Jennine Capó Crucet. The book explores the act of adornment as a form of baptism and renewal; as protection; as protest; as self-designed spirituality manifest. It invites readers to open that one drawer of your mami’s vanity, pull out the tangle of collares, and work through all those knots in an attempt to figure out what’s worth keeping, what might still be salvageable, and what—despite all its shimmer and show—always belonged in the trash.
Gilded Revival is a part of the ACAB series by Burrow Press launching in 2026. Each of three books commissions a literary writer and a visual artist to create a collaborative artist book –– the only constraint being the book’s size (6×8). The series bridges the gap between disciplines to encourage collaboration and innovation. Become a 2026 Burrow Press Subscriber and get all three books.
