The Blood Poems, Paperback / softback Book

The Blood Poems Paperback / softback

Part of the The Albuquerque Poet Laureate Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

The Blood Poems is one part bloodletting, one part healing, and one part sensuous celebration as Jessica Helen Lopez lays out what it means to be a strong brown woman, a single mother, and the kickass bard that the twenty-first century needs.

Lopez openly faces a damaging childhood, sex, divorce, and racial injustice in these poems.

She proves that love is as complicated as lovemaking--messy and lusty, raucous and powerful, capable of amazing highs and abysmal lows.

She proves that when a woman learns to love herself, she will live a fierce and full life and teach her daughters to do the same.
