Review Quotes
the most spectacular mistake is a love story to herself, her roots, and the sacred ritual of chanting the past to heal into the past to hea into the present. It is a testament of the connection between the core of the body, the heart and spirit. Vallez undoes the entaglements of life and the ancestors she carries in her palms while weaving together traditional offerings through words. A lyrical altar reclaiming her existence and triumphs.
- Sarah Rafael García, author of SanTana's Fairy Tales and founder of LibroMobile
the most spectacular mistake by Anatalia Vallez is what happens when words become trees become books. Her words are a call to the movement of radical self love. Each chapter builds up to a blooming of imagery and song. Her voice guides the reader thru code-switching landscape of poetry, plays, anmd panacea. Anatalia brings the memory of chingona and divine feminine home in this collection. Do yourslef a favor and invest in this smoking mirror.
