21 yrs. in the making, 5 yrs. of writing—the cover of my debut full-length poetry collection, “Fractures”
(stunning cover design by Debbie Berne).
After first taking in the breathtaking cover image, I immediately noticed my name. My initial impression: “Damn, that’s a big choice on the font size.”
But then, I thought back to how I felt in school: a delayed reader and outcast, alienated and intimidated not just by the dominant canonical writers solely taught at my public school, but by literacy in general.
I never imagined encountering a book by an author with a name like mine, with two accent marks and in bold, unapologetic lettering.
For anyone out there who didn’t think someone like them could write a book or help shape the literary canon—this book is for you.
