Don't miss this acclaimed audiobook, read by the author—winner of an Odyssey Honor and an AudioFile Earphones Award winner!
The Poet X is also the winner of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, the Michael L. Printz Award, and the Pura Belpré Award.
Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth.
Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.
But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.
With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems.
Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent.
“Crackles with energy and snaps with authenticity and voice.” —Justina Ireland, author of Dread Nation

“Acevedo has amplified the voices of girls en el barrio who are equal parts goddess, saint, warrior, and hero.” —Ibi Zoboi, author of American Street

En mycket fin liten bok, så mycket känsla i få utvalda ord. Skönt språk och flöde. Jag har verkligen gillat all prosalyrik (riktad till unga) som jag har läst, så även denna gång. Jag ser fram emot att läsa mer av Acevedo!

MUST READ! For youths and adults alike. Acevedo is superb in describing the twists and turns of growing up in a world that seemingly isn’t made for you. The book offers a narrative which much too often is overlooked and denied it’s rightful place in modern literature. Whilst the main character Xiomara finds her voice, the story gives a voice to so many unheard women. Truly everyone can relate to this story and I heartily recommend it!

I would've given this ten stars if I could. The simplicity of it makes it even more endearing. The narrator was amazing and helped in transporting me into the book. 10/10!

En jättefin berättelse om en ung tjejs liv berättad delvis i poesiform. Författaren är passionerad i ljudboken och berättelsen i sig är underbar!
