Xóchitl: Crowning Heart is a poetry collection for a daughter on the threshold of fifteen, and for the girls, women, and femmes who will recognize themselves in her becoming.
Rooted in Mexican and Mexican American inheritance, these poems move through migration, labor, family, quince ritual, brown girlhood, tenderness, grief, courage, and self-making. Across hummingbirds, copal, caldos, cacti, paper flowers, and the heart's own weather, the book honors what young Latinas inherit, and what they are free to transform.
Written as both offering and witness, this collection speaks to hijab, madres, comadres, and anyone who has had to learn that softness is not weakness, that boundaries are not betrayal, and that becoming fully oneself is a sacred act.
