My Nana's Hands - Elodia E Benitez - Bog

Elodia Esperanza Benitez is a Mexican-American poet from Gilroy, California who brings the strength of her ancestors and heritage to her work. She began writing at an early age as a way of processing her experiences and those around her within her community. Her poems bring to life those closest to her by way of inviting their voices to sweep across the page. She is the author of Love in Many Faces. You can find her work in EASTSIDE Magazine, Content Magazine, Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social, and on bookstore shelves.
