Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s National Poetry Month! These are just a few of the many poetry collections I love!

Loved this poetry collection!

Smart poetry about a young woman discovering herself through life and her relationships. In the process, she explores her experience as a Cape Verdean American and her femininity. A strong debut collection.

This young poet has an original voice.

One of our book picks this month is Shauna Barbosa‘s debut poetry collection CAPE VERDEAN BLUES. Just published this year, Barbosa's collection evokes a contemporary feel interlaced with Barbosa's personal style. What a great debut!⠀

Tune in to Ep. 41 to hear more about CAPE VERDEAN BLUES and other poetry collections by or about women.⠀

Normally I sip poetry. I gulped these poems. I have no regrets.

Got my pen and page flags ready for this one!!

Small book haul, plus the schedule for the Dallas Book Festival this weekend. 😃
