What Tatiana has done with Despojo is pure delight!She offers home, love, peace and healing. Her heritagewoven into each line, sharing her roots and the wisdomfrom her ancestors. With each poem, she tells a storywith a quiet yet bold flare that only she possesses. Mas-terfully written and a complete gem is this masterpiece!—C. Thomas, Poet & Author of Bernard’s BedroomDespojo waters us with a conversation of identity Ca-ribeños know all too well. A refreshing exploration ofboth wanting to belong and tracing back all that makesus feel seen. This collection reminds us that it is in theshedding of skin that we learn to mend.—Melania-Luisa Marte, Poet & Author of MelaDespojo is a testament to so many things: the pain andhealing in the aftermath of sexual violence, the lineagesTatiana honors and writes within, the fact that loveis a verb. The poems in Despojo carry an impossibleamount of compassion for their subjects. I learn fromTatiana Figueroa Ramirez the act of staying put andjust looking; she is a poet deeply invested in witnessingher family and ancestry, in writing with an uncom-promising eye towards balancing the truth and theturmoil. She never turns away. I am so lulled by herlanguage, which is so skillful it has a spine. Flowersdot the pages, the air becomes thinner and sweet withmolasses. Do yourself a favour and learn what it reallymeans to trace lineage, to write with strength towardspeople who have hurt you, to stand and carry an entirehistory on your shoulders.—Nancy Huang, Author of Favorite Daughter 3
