Selena Didn't Know Spanish Either is a debut poetry collection which seeks Tejano pop star Selena Quintanilla as a means of reconnecting to the speaker's cultural identity. As Spanish language and culture becomes more accessible to non-Latinx populations, the speaker grapples with her own complex story of assimilation. Modern marginalization, appropriation, tokenizing, and fetishizing are examined in this multi-generational memoir tracking a Latinx family's journey to assimilation. This dynamic collection is far-reaching, exploring BIPOC experiences in predominantly white cultures. from "Young Memoir" di-as-po-ra is silent. is spiritual. It is being robbed of memoir while you sleep in a suburb. it is nonconsensually sensual--it is a ques­tion. when it comes for you, what will you recover? what will you do to reclaim all that was forced lost?
