We Become a Poem / Nos Volvemos Poema is a bilingual collection of 65 original poems that flow between English and Spanish, sometimes within a single line. This macaronic work explores identity, language, migration, memory, and love. With a blend of vulnerability and cultural insight, the poems invite readers to connect across linguistic and emotional borders.
We Become a Poem / Nos volvemos poema lives at the intersection of language, identity, and belonging. Written in English and Spanish, not as mirrored translations but as fluid expressions, this book invites readers to dance between tongues, cultures, and emotional truths.
The poems reflect the layered experiences of bilingual and bicultural life. Some speak to the quiet resistance of language learning, others to the ache of migration, memory, or love. Each piece offers an intimate reflection on the ways we become who we are through the words we speak and the ones we search for.
This book is designed for readers of all backgrounds, including native speakers, heritage speakers, and language learners. While the poems shift between languages, they remain accessible, offering context, rhythm, and a shared emotional resonance. The collection features thematic sections and a bilingual author's note, making it a poetic companion for classrooms, book clubs, or individual exploration.
We Become a Poem / Nos Volvemos Poema is the first title from Sinagazi LLC, a publishing project dedicated to honoring language as a bridge, not a barrier.
