What She Saw in the Lotería Cards

What She Saw in the Lotería cards, published by Bottlecap Press, is a collection of poetry inspired by Lotería iconography and my Mexican and Southern Gothic identity, blending confessional intimacy with symbolic structure. Each poem stands as a vignette, a moment of revelation, rupture, or reinvention, offering readers a multifaceted narrative of womanhood across generations and geographies. The collections’s thematic DNA, intergenerational voice, Chicana feminist framework, multimodal tones, makes it a natural fit among contemporary poetry exploring heritage, desire, and domestic mythology through its mythopoetic structure. Its Lotería-based organization gives it symbolic scaffolding recognizable to both culturally-rooted readers and newcomers to the form.
