I read a few of the poems from this collection years ago and loved them. After reading them all, “My Depression Has Questions” is still my favorite.

i got to see yesika perform from this book live and it was absolutely phenomenal. she is such a joy and unapologetic force. that absolutely shines through this book.
“I learned to forgive before I learned to speak / to turn palms upward to God and my lover / to let a man ruin me with his love / to call the ruins sacred / to uproot everything and call the new place mine / to name the nostalgia something sweet / a ripened fruit growing out of a dying tree."
Corazon is a powerful and evoking poetry collection. Salgado addresses body positivity and self-love, family, heartbreak, alcoholism and abusive relationships. I really enjoy reading this book, looking forward to reading more from this beautiful poet.

Loved it. I want to feel like I can walk away from a poetry collection knowing intimate things about the author. I got that from this.

The poems in this collection were nice to read, but coming back to review the collection they haven't really stuck with me. I found the style of the poems a bit too literal for my personal tastes, at some places verging too close to generic-instragram-caption territory.
The peoms focused mainly on the poets experience of her body, fatness, love and sensuality (lots of fruit metaphors), and her Salvadorian heritage.
