Meet the author Elizabeth Acevedo! In this live online presentation, she will share her poetry and lead a short writing session.
Elizabeth’s novel, Poet X, tells the story of 15 year old Xiomara Batista, who feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers-especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.
