Anna Suarez utilizes folklore and myths to explore who Papi is and what he means to her. Her poetry is a friend, lover, and confessional narrative celebrating the cathartic power of desire and the self. "Glowing, shattering poetry about blood and being blue-hooded and glistening as Woman, Whore, Slut, God-Seeking Catholic Girl seeking home. Love. Also autonomy. Agency. She's the one always being spoken of, and should be. Suarez rewrites scripture summoning the sweet strength of survival, having learned power through yielding to it. Visceral. Opalescent." - Jenny Forrester, author of Narrow River, Wide Sky: A Memoir "Anna takes you on a journey from sensuality to despair and from hope to harsh realism. She captures the peril of intimacy through shattered rose colored glasses and takes you back to potential and most importantly, to awe." - Garrett Cook, author of A God of Hungry Walls

Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems.
