Puerto Rican Love Stories

by C.P. FLOREZ
5/5

Her experiences being a woman and urban bred inform her storytelling and poems, as well as do the idiosyncrasies of being a first-generation “Amer-Rican.” 

A collection of poems and essays coming from a proud feminine voice. Humorous, sarcastic, playful, and socially relevant, the theme revolves around a woman’s journey and how she handles feelings of love, hope, failures, relationships, romance, and yes, sex.

Some poems are earthy, while some are extremely delicate and seem too perfect for this imperfect world. C. P. Florez is indeed a poet and essayist with a distinct style and voice, and her next book is worth watching out for.
