Breathtakingly tender, playful, and generous one moment; sharp and unapologetically brutal the next, these poems by Lopez transport the reader into the complex landscape of feminine power with a dynamic but inarguable force. Honest to the marrow, Lopez never sugarcoats. And yet this work rings with a sweetness nonetheless: the kind it takes a warrior to earn. Jessica Helen Lopez knows what she's fighting for, what has been lost, and where to attack to set the wheels of justice in motion. Most importantly, she has the teeth for it. Read this book and she'll help you discover yours.
