Elizabeth Acevedo is the daughter of Dominican immigrants. She is a National Poetry Slam Champion. The Poet X (HarperCollins, 2018) is her debut novel.
Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.
But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.
With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems.
Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent.

她的故事不是最独特的,但她把所有的感情都写进了诗里。推荐用audio book听这本书,是作者自己narrate的,非常好。

评分除了父亲这个角色的转变令人难以理解之外,这个故事真的好棒啊。
