Description

Book Synopsis

Nen G Ramirez's ALL WOMEN ARE BORN WAILING confronts myriad forms of violence against Latinas. Drawing on personal and family experiences with mental illness, the poet challenges the "crazy Latina" stereotype and examines the ways it has been used to belittle and dehumanize people who deserve treatment and care. Unflinching in their critique of sexist and racist tropes, in these poems Ramirez experiments with persona and familial history, including the murder of a cousin, in order to imagine more hopeful futures.

Poetry. Latinx Studies.
