I write at the intersection of science and cultural memory—where mitochondrial DNA carries ancestral persistence, where proteins dance with brightness (cosa que baila & fulgura), and where poetry refuses the colonial grammar that separated biology from identity. 

Poetry Collections

Quantum Weaver Yocahú (Editorial Disonante, 2015)

Honorable Mention, PEN International Puerto Rico

A speculative poetry collection that reimagines the Puerto Rican nation-in-transit experience through quantum physics and space-time travel. Yocahú, the supreme Taíno deity, becomes a metaphor for quantum entanglement—indigenous presence visible and erased in contemporary consciousness.

Innovation: Includes QR codes linking to multimedia content, creating an augmented reading experience that bridges print and digital spaces.

Critical Reception: Poet and critic Rafael Acevedo described the work as operating "in the logosphere where the captain (Adrover) lucidly fragments of a prophecy being fulfilled. If we use the metaphor of the book as a drug, this is a formidable hallucinogen."

Scholar Ángel Rivera dedicated an entire chapter to this collection in his book Ciencia Ficción en Puerto Rico: heraldos de la catástrofe, el apocalipsis y el cambio (Editorial Disonante, 2019). The chapter, titled "Quantum Weaver Yocahú de Miguel Adrover Lausell: Contra la crisis, una estética del movimiento," engages Donna Haraway's frameworks to examine the work's politics of movement and resistance.

Reviewed in El Nuevo Día (January 24, 2016) as "interesante, ambiciosa... con elementos innovadores."

Caldo de Hipocrene (Editorial Disonante, 2017)

Named for the sacred spring of the Greek Muses, this collection presents a speculative vision of Puerto Rico across three time periods: 2015, 2017, and 2077. The poems confront drought, imagined civil war, artificial intelligence, and economic collapse—speculation rooted in our lived reality.

Temporal Architecture: The 2015 poems document actual water rationing during Puerto Rico's drought. Published in summer 2017, months before Hurricane María, the collection became unexpectedly prophetic.

Critical Reception: Writer and Scholar Guillermo Rebollo Gil opens an essay in Los Actos Gratuitos (Editorial UNE, 2018) with lines from this collection. Writing in the aftermath of Hurricane María, he cites: "De todo un poco hay poco en Borinquen bella; / poquea de lo que no podemos prescindir— / fucking falta el agua."

Juanluís Ramos (Reyerta TV, Shadowplay) writes that the collection "enjoys a monstrous freedom that allows it to travel through different routes (tangible and metaphorical, of category and register, of the real and the imaginary, of form and content, of word and music, of poetry and science, of the future and the past, of time and space) that it destroys at the same time as it constructs them."

La barriga de Diógenes (Ed. Callejón, 2014)

Honorable Mention, Certamen de Poesía Joven El Farolito Azul

My first collection, exploring philosophical cynicism through embodiment. Diogenes' barrel becomes a metaphor for Puerto Rican resilience—making home in spaces of refusal. The collection employs free verse to move between philosophy, the body, and everyday resistance.

Anthologies & Collaborative Work

Bioversa: antología de poesía científica puertorriqueña (Ed. Gnomo, 2024)

An anthology of scientific poetry from Puerto Rican and Caribbean voices. My contribution includes Elogio a la mitocondria and Poema a la proteína—poems that connect cellular biology with maternal inheritance and cultural persistence.

Core Themes: Mitochondrial inheritance as genealogy, ATP synthesis as metabolic poetry, cellular processes as language of survival.

Pedagogical Note: These poems serve as primary texts in my genetics curriculum, demonstrating that scientific literacy and culture are inseparable.

Fricción Cuántica: Antología de Ciencia Ficción desde Puerto Rico y su diáspora (Ed. Gnomo, 2022)

Contributor of the short story Kerygma1511.perre (or The Gospel According to Puertorricana Collectors) — a speculative fiction piece written in English that explores digital archives, national memory, and far future extrapolations of current neocolonial vices. 

Hadouken! Antología de literatura boricua videolúdica (Editorial Gnomo, 2023)

Contributor of two critical essays examining video games as culturally significant artifacts, regardless of how adjacent they are--or not--to art.
