MeXicana: poemas y más poemas (pronounced Me, Xicana mexicana) is Diosa Xochiquetzalcóatl's seventh poetry collection. The author begins the entire collection with a double entendre title that perfectly encapsulates the dualistic and at times, pluralistic themes thoroughly explored throughout her poems. Themes surrounding culture, language, identity, religion, political and geographical borders, and patriarchal influences are not only explored, but dissected, and even contested. The book is an exploration of the bilingual-binational conundrum: to be or not to be, that internal and external conflict of belonging and not belonging. Some may think that a Chicana and a Mexicana are the same, and that is simply not the case. There are many layers to these labels and lifestyles. And Diosa X, who has lived on both sides of that ridiculous man-made border as an adult, dives deep into all of the complexities of being binational and bilingual. Nonetheless, whether juggling one or two or many hats, there is still this beauty and love and pride that is exalted within her writing. And as always, a classic characteristic of this multilingual author, be ready to learn new vocabulary and dive into the word-play that thrives within her multidimensional worlds. Diosa Xochiquetzalcóatl proudly invites readers of all ages and walks of life to join her on this fantastic and sometimes frustrating, though always phenomenal, journey of a MeXicana life.
