Join us for an IG chat with Jesenia Chávez, Wednesday, 9/28 at 7pm PDT
We'll be talking about Jesenia's debut poetry book, This Poem Might Save You (ME) published on Alegria Publishing.
"These poems were born out of a desire to share my stories and the words that keep me up at night. The words that burst out of me, accompany me on walks, and come to me through the voices of my beloved familia. They come as whispers, as shouts, and from the words that were never uttered by my departed loved ones. These words come from all the women’s voices who must stay silent to survive. They come from the little girl who dreams of seeing her name and words on the spine of a book in the library. The beauty is in the process, in the grays, the in-between that children of immigrants feel. The taste of English and Spanish on the tongue. These poems are an offering from my soul to yours, and I thank you for supporting a dream. I hope you are inspired, annoyed, amused, and most of all, I hope that you nurture your dreams. Through my collection, This Poem Might Save You (Me), I invite you to take a journey with me."
