Lima :: Limón traces machismo, womanhood, and culture across borders, raising questions to the gods while finding answers within the flesh.

Lima :: Limon illuminates both the sweet and the sour of the immigrant experience, of life as a woman in the U. S. and Mexico, and of the politics of the present day. Drawing inspiration from the music of her childhood, her lyrical poems focus on the often-tested resilience of women. Scenters-Zapico writes heartbreakingly about domestic violence and its toxic duality of macho versus hembra, of masculinity versus femininity, and throws into harsh relief the all-too-normalized pain that women endure. Her sharp verse and intense anecdotes brand her poems into the reader; images like the Virgin Mary crying glass tears and a border fence that leaves never-healing scars intertwine as she stares down femicide and gang violence alike. Unflinching, Scenters-Zapico highlights the hardships and stigma immigrants face on both sides of the border, her desireto create change shining through in every line. Lima :: Limon is grounding and urgent, a collection that speaks out against violence and works toward healing." | Lima :: Limon by Natalie Scenters-Zapico, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
