Plantains and Our Becoming: Poems by Melania Luisa Marte

challenging informative inspiring

I don't typically read poetry and I don't think it will ever be my fave genre to read but with books like this I will gladly give it a try every so often. This was a collection of what felt like a very personal journey and having heard the author herself narrate the audiobook I could feel the passion she was emitting through her words. There were parts within these poems that I felt seen having dealt with similar situations growing up and for that I am grateful. Highly recommend, especially for my fellow dominicanas.
