Written in the three years following a divorce from a twenty-two year marriage, these poems are about a middle-aged Chicana who is facing life on her own for the first time. These poems respond to the confusion and pain of a rebound love affair, the courage to pursue an MFA and be in a workshop as an older, first-gen student who never studied literature, the longing and hopes of a single-mother, life under a racist and violent political regime and the everlasting effects of intergenerational trauma in hers and her family’s life. These poems bleed love and hope in the midst of uncertainty and longing.
