ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo centers on Xiomara Batista, a young woman in Harlem grappling with her identity and her strict religious upbringing. Finding solace and a powerful means of self-expression in writing poetry, Xiomara uses her notebook to navigate her thoughts and feelings about faith, her relationships with her twin brother and a boy named Aman, and the expectations of her Dominican family. The book explores themes of discovering one's voice, the challenges of adolescence, cultural identity, and the power of language as Xiomara seeks to understand herself and her place in the world, especially when her creative outlet clashes with her mother's beliefs.
