Hermosa by Yesika Salgado

WINNER, THE JUAN FELIPE HERRERA BEST POETRY BOOK AWARD OF THE 2020 INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS

Hermosa is the path to becoming one’s own home. A thread pulled when Salgado thinks about who she is and who she has been. Beyond the survival, grief, and fight, Hermosa lives in the small moments hidden beneath it all. A journey of firsts, of mistakes, of celebrations, of the love, the crush, the disaster, the rebuilding, and the never-ending cycle of growth.
