These poems rise out of the page and take you by the hand. Belfiglio explores the raw truth of an immigrant family across generations, from the point of view of a child moving into womanhood. Her journey steers us from rural Sicily to urban America. In a combination of grounding narrative and sensory lyrical writing this book delivers a deft eye for finding meaning in the commonplace. It is a heartfelt path of defining oneself at the intersection of queerness, ethnicity, and spirituality. Belfiglio examines identity through the lenses of ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and feminism, always bringing one in deeper, allowing them to connect to their own unique voyage. This vulnerable and grounded story will help readers enhance what is most important—letting their own truth shine.
