What She Saw in the Lotería Cards–a book of poems

What She Saw in the Lotería Cards, published by Bottlecap Press, is a collection that 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.

It is my attempt to unite the mythic with the mundane, the intimate with the political, 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—this collection maps the complex terrain of feminine experience grounded in cultural specificity and mythic resonance.

These poems are inspired by Lotería iconography and my Mexican and Southern Gothic identity, blending confessional intimacy with symbolic structure.
