Desde que su cuerpo se volvioÌ curviliÌneo, aprendioÌ a dejar que sus punÌos y su fiereza hablaran por ella. Pero X tiene mucho para decir, por eso descarga su frustracioÌn en las paÌginas de un cuaderno y recita las palabras para siÌ misma como si fueran plegarias, especialmente despueÌs de verse invadida por fuertes sentimientos hacia un chico de la clase de biologiÌa. Ante la determinaciÌn de mami de forzarla a obedecer las leyes de la Iglesia, Xiomara comprende que es mejor guardarse sus pensamientos. Cuando la invitan a unirse al club de poesiÌa slam de su escuela, sabe que no podraÌ asistir a menos que logre sortear las reglas de mami y mucho menos decir sus palabras en voz alta. Pero auÌn asiÌ no puede dejar de pensar en interpretar sus poemas frente a un puÌblico. En alzar su voz. Porque, a pesar de que el mundo no quiere escucharla, Xiomara se niega a permanecer en silencio. 520 $a 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 her frustration 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. 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. When she is invited to join her school's slam poetry club, she knows that she could never get around Mami's rules to attend, much less speak her words out loud. But still, she can't stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in spite of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. -- From book jacket. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Dominican Americans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a High school students $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Poets $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Poetry slams $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Schools $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Adolescence $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Self-esteem $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Harlem (New York, N.Y.) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Novels in verse. 700 1 $a Poch, Silvina. 941 $a 7 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710055025.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20240704010145.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20240409011227.0 952 $l 0YSX353 $d 20220315011602.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20201215011449.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200123010146.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20191113011423.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4EABB43605E311EA936CF50A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
