A review by caylieratzlaff
Beastgirl & Other Origin Myths by Elizabeth Acevedo

4.0

This is only 35 pages but I am always amazed by Acevedo’s words and the stories she crafts. These poems aren’t precisely meant for me, as they’re rooted in Afro-Latina and Dominican roots, but the way with words is BEAUTIFUL. These are also more serious and mature than her YA verses, but they pack the same lunch.

Did I spend like $10 for 35 pages of Acevedo’s first chapbook? Yes. Do I regret it? No.
