Summary

Sotelo walks the line between autobiography and mythmaking, offering up identities like dishes at a feast. These poems devour and complicate tropes of femininity—of naiveté, of careless abandon—before sharply exploring the intelligence and fortitude of women. At every step, Sotelo’s poems seduce with history, folklore, and sensory detail before delivering clear-eyed and eviscerating insights into power, deceit, relationships, and ourselves
