Selena Didn't Know Spanish Either: Poems by Marisa Tirado

hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

One Marisa to another, one Latine struggling to speak Spanish to another — I’ve never felt so seen. I’ve never seen a poem so clearly, either. This is an incredible rendering of a very particular experience of assimilation and then undoing some of the very assimilation. This is a blueprint, it’s a map, it’s an autobiography.
