Lima :: Limon EPUB
by Natalie Scenters-Zapico
EPUB
Description
In her striking second collection, Natalie Scenters-Zapico sets her unflinching gaze once again on the borders of things.
Lima :: Limon illuminates both the sweet and the sour of the immigrant experience, of life as a woman in the U.S. and Mexico, and of the politics of the present day. Drawing inspiration from the music of her childhood, her lyrical poems focus on the often-tested resilience of women.
Scenters-Zapico writes heartbreakingly about domestic violence and its toxic duality of macho versus hembra, of masculinity versus femininity, and throws into harsh relief the all-too-normalized pain that women endure.
Her sharp verse and intense anecdotes brand her poems into the reader; images like the Virgin Mary crying glass tears and a border fence that leaves never-healing scars intertwine as she stares down femicide and gang violence alike.
Unflinching, Scenters-Zapico highlights the hardships and stigma immigrants face on both sides of the border, her desire to create change shining through in every line.
Lima :: Limon is grounding and urgent, a collection that speaks out against violence and works toward healing.
