A second book of English poetry, titled Soft Be my Words is currently being edited.

The newspaper Diario de las Americas in reviewing Litany of an Island noted: “Cuban migration to the United States has spanned over 70 years in a cultural and historic process with unique characteristics now recognized in fields as seemingly diverse as economics and literature, which includes dozens of Cuban and Cuban-American authors who write in Spanish and/or English, giving birth to a second wellspring of Cuban literature that could be considered not only Cuban American but also Anglo-Cuban for the language it expresses. Litany of an Island belongs to this category.

Noris Capín has been a columnist for the newspaper EnUSA Spanish Language Newspaper since 2005 writing the monthly column Mujer Nueva (New Woman.) Since 2008 she has contributed as a columnist and illustrator for La Voz Católica and her cover illustrations have appeared in the Florida Catholic, both publications of the Archdiocese of Miami.
