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
"An incredibly potent debut." —Jason Reynolds, author of the National Book Award Finalist Ghost
"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

本想试一下能否边debug边听，结果还是高估了自己，所以晚上又听了一遍。跟之前听的那本《Everything Sad is Untrue》前后一起听是很有趣的体验，这本也是移民文学的一种，同样也有宗教上的文化上的冲突。书中有提到很多女性成长过程中所遇到的压力，作为男生在读之前确实不容易知道或想到，为此只能说很抱歉。

A YA novel in verse，一个拉丁裔女孩的成长史，喜欢作者对宗教和日常中厌女细节的捕捉。推荐有声书，由作者自己朗读，感情节奏都把握得好好，根本舍不得倍速。

3.5星。故事过于简单，我其实不是很喜欢这种讲的太直白的成长故事。其中对宗教的反抗，女性成长中遇到的厌女，遇到的各种困惑，作为移民的经验，非常直白地讲出来。作者的有声书念的好，推荐有声书，读书的话，都是诗歌形式读多了会觉得单调。（喜马拉雅上有有声书）
