The Seeds We Sow is a vulnerable yet resilient collection of bilingual poems that offers readers a glimpse into life as the child of immigrants in a fractured household-and the lasting ramifications of that fracture, both within and beyond the home. The collection moves from confession to testimony to declaration, and finally to proclamation. Each section embodies the seeds we choose to sow, examining the roots of pain and the fruit those choices bear. To bury a seed is to begin a cycle, therefore, it must be chosen with care. The first seed is Nopal. This section confronts the anguish of handling spines-how even the gentlest touch can wound. Guayaba marks germination, growth that pushes beyond imposed borders, rooted in Santa Ana yet reaching toward the world at large. Mango turns toward love-the kind every person deserves planted within them-and how, when nurtured, it allows them to flourish despite hardship. The collection closes with Sábila, a seed of ancient medicine. Though its leaves are cut and torn, aloe continues to heal and propagate. It grows even after pieces of itself are sliced away. To sow this final seed is to choose cultivation over rupture and healing over inheritance.
