Thursday, August 12, 2021

"La Llorona is a deeply felt book filled with meditations on what it means to be a woman, a mother, a lover, but most of all, a poet. Her stories are as necessary and timely as they are familiar. In her poetry and prose, Rosales Salinas shows that our many selves are intertwined, inextricable, and that as much as we try to begin anew, we are tied to our histories, our pasts, our mothers: I carry weight like her/ the weight of her. But heaviness is not what defines this book; it brims with joy and love." -- Maceo Montoya, The Scoundrel and the Optimist, 2011 International Latino Book Award for "Best First Book", Top Ten New Latino Writers to Watch.
