What She Saw in The Lotería Cards

What She Saw in the Lotería Cards can be understood as a cartography of identity—mapping emotional, cultural, familial, and bodily terrains. The use of Lotería cards is more than decorative—it offers a mythopoetic framework that grounds intimate, raw stories in universal symbols. The poems explore the connection between the mythic with the mundane, the intimate with the political, and the tragic with the tender. The collection explores the interwoven themes of heritage, desire, domestic ritual, and spiritual metamorphosis.

Structured in four distinct sections—The Inheritance, Desire and Distance, The Seeker, and The Surrender What She Saw in the Lotería Cards maps the complex terrain of feminine experience grounded in cultural specificity and mythic resonance.
