This Poem Might Save You (Me)

〰️

“Jesenia’s poems take me back to a time of carefree playing with my primas, eating abuelitas beans with queso fresco and listening to norteñas and banda music hasta la madrugada. It’s a book that you will reread over and over because it warms your heart. So don’t think twice, get yourself a copy and start reading!” - Carmen Aida

“These poems made me smile, laugh and cry! These poems celebrate life!” - Nancy Garcia

Let’s stay connected!
