Debut novel of renowned slam poet Elizabeth Acevedo. 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, much less speak her words out loud.

  • The Last Duchess of Buffalo
    Adam Hoss The Last Duchess of Buffalo f all the residents in Shoreline Senior Center’s Alzheimer’s Wing, OGladys Rockwell was the most famous. Management tasked Ariel Ramirez with her around-the-clock care. “Because of your people skills,” Rachel said. Ariel peered over the counter, straining to glimpse next week’s sched- ule-in-progress on the screen. Julian assumed his customary pose behind the nurses’ station, folding chair propped at an angle, one foot on the closet door. The reflection of Gladys Rockwell’s Wikipedia page floated on his glasses. “She was in movies with Charlie Chaplin,” he said. “Here’s a picture of her with JFK.” Rachel slurped the remains of her Pepsi through a straw. “She’s a hellion.” “In 1949, she booked the Presidential Suite at the Paris Ritz but never checked in,” Julian said. “Later she clarified the suite was for her poodle.” Ariel understood that her assignment was no promotion. Gladys Rockwell’s arrival had transformed the nursing home staff into a hive of paparazzi. She carried with her suitcases of nostalgia and mystique, Oscar snubs, glamor shots, newspaper clippings of a storied life. The centenarian’s antics were enough to see her blacklisted from several area care centers in Buffalo, her hometown, and across upstate New York. I will endure this, Ariel told herself. “You know she’s a duchess?” Julian asked. “The Queen let her keep the title, even after her divorce.” Rachel held up her hand. “We get it.” Then, turning to Ariel, “Go see how our diva’s settling in.” * 9 red rock review Ariel had managed to find employment.
