Leo Herrera's debut book “Post” is a collection of poems, lectures, prayers and grudges. In 2020, amidst the uncertainty of COVID-19, Herrera's voice emerged as a source of comfort, clarity, and difficult truths. Originally presented as “meme essays” on social media, Herrera’s densely-written posts covered politics, race, immigration, class, religion and public health. The book presents Herrera's prose chronologically from 2020 to the end of 2023, from a small following to millions of eyes, from celebrity reposts to IRL protest signs. Beyond the viral hits and accolades, "Post" sets the stage for a dance of authenticity under the pressures of the digital spotlight. Delivered with a touch of humor and fury, “Post” skewers white privilege, virtue signaling, and late-stage capitalism in Herrera’s signature decolonized and spiritual tone rare to social media space.

Leo Herrera is a Mexican artist and activist whose work centers around the image, best known for his painting, photography and filmmaking. His social media writings were a complete pivot for fans. In Herrera’s foreword essay for “Post”, he shares how his posts were an act of defiance. Their resurfacing as printed matter is a bold act of preservation against tech giants who threaten queer narratives with a click. This is Herrera reclaiming his digital archive.
