The Poet X

Xiomara has always kept her words to herself. When it comes to standing her ground in her Harlem neighbourhood, she lets her fists and her fierceness do the talking.

But X has secrets - her feelings for a boy in her bio class, and the notebook full of poems that she keeps under her bed. And a slam poetry club that will pull those secrets into the spotlight.

Because in spite of a world that might not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to stay silent.

"I felt very emotional reading this book, not just because the story and words themselves were do beautiful, but because I knew it was going to make so many teens, who felt like no one cares about them or listens to them, feel seen."
Tomi Adeyemi, bestselling author of "Children of Blood and Bone"
