while they sleep (under the bed is another country) by Raquel Salas Rivera

emotional reflective sad

5.0

I was looking for a poetry audiobook to listen to while I cleaned and happened to har about this author. Without looking into it much, I played it -- and I wound up stopping what I was doing just to listen to it! (I almost always need to multitask in order to listen to audiobooks!). This was beautiful and heartwrenching. I will definitely be looking into more of their poetry collections! 

I will say, my Spanish is... more than rusty, so I really was mostly just able to understand the parts in English -- but that was more than enough to give it five stars.
