The Blood Poems is one part bloodletting, one part healing, and one part sensuous celebration as Jessica Helen Lopez lays out what it means to be a strong brown woman, a single mother, and the kickass bard that the twenty-first century needs. Lopez openly faces a damaging childhood, sex, divorce, and racial injustice in these poems. She proves that love is as complicated as lovemaking--messy and lusty, raucous and powerful, capable of amazing highs and abysmal lows. She proves that when a woman learns to love herself, she will live a fierce and full life and teach her daughters to do the same.

Jessica Helen Lopez is a member of the Macondo Writers Workshop and is the author of four other books of poetry including Always Messing With Them Boys and The Language of Bleeding, which was a limited release in honor of her ambassadorial visit to Granada, Nicaragua.

Fresh, sharp, guttural.--Ms. Magazine
