The Poet X

by Elizabeth Acevedo

My mouth cannot write you a white flag, it will never

I SPENT ALL THAT TIME TRYING TO TRANSLATE IT MYSELF ONLY FOR THERE TO BE A TRANSLATION ON THE NEXT PAGE ?? 😭😭😭

“I’m where the X is marked, I arrived battle ready—” “Dios te salve, María, llena eres de gracia;”

I am not a poetry girlie but this book could make me one !!!!!
