Chicana Falsa / Michele Serros / 1998

This delightful collection es pura chisme and micheladas with a homegirl. I especially enjoyed its magnetic moments of heat, where a neighborhood story would punch along just right. Though her work seems largely forgotten these days and it could hardly be claimed that she was a literary GOAT, I appreciate sitting with her work and honor the way she carved some of the path for contemporary latinx poetics. I hear echoes of her in some of mis plumitas and enjoyed every moment I spent with this book. 3/5
