Featured Book

Write, Do Brujeria, or Walk Away

"Write, Do Brujeria, or Walk Away: Poems About My Life Choices" is a poetry collection by Jeannette Zallar which examines events which occurred in her life, brutally, and sometimes, too much so. The poems within are sometimes without rhyme or context, but nonetheless, express her views perfectly.
