#OurVoces presents Elizabeth Acevedo, author of ‘The Poet X’

¡Qué bonita bandera! AKA what heritage(s) do you claim?

Afro-Dominicana!

When was the first time you saw yourself represented?

When I was in seventh grade I stole my older brother’s copy of Down These Mean Streets by Piri Thomas. The way that memoir grappled with race, ethnicity, and growing up in Harlem really hit home and felt familiar in a way no other book had up until that point.

How do you connect to your heritage through your books (if at all)?

The Dominican Republic and Dominican culture is instrumental to how I craft. Both because I’m drawn to the folklore and superstitions of the island and the stories I grew up hearing at my mother’s knee, but also because I can’t separate my culture form myself; ultimately everything I write is a reflection of my upbringing. It’s why my characters have such rich names, wrestle with faith and gender norms and trying to find home; why they continuously partaking in the most delicious Dominican meals, dancing bachata, and contemplating what it means to be proud of your heritage. Books allow me to celebrate and question my heritage in all its messiness, mayhem, and magic.

What do you hope for the future of Latinx books?

I think Latinidad can be a very unifying (and necessary) umbrella, but I hope that the future of Latinx books showcases the nuances of each nationality and culture and the rich histories and upbringings that make us all distinct. So, ultimately I hope for more books, more stories, more of our experiences defying the myth that there is only one kind of Latinx person.

What is the book that inspired you to write for kids/teens?

In 2010 I was teaching eighth grade English Language Arts in a predominantly Latinx school and one day a student asked me why we never read any books with Latinx characters. I scrambled to find YA novels by and about Latinx folks, and I managed to get a few that my student enjoyed but I was still so, so disappointed in 1. how few current ones there were, 2. how few I could find in brick and mortar stores. So, it wasn’t a book that inspired me to write for teens, it was a teen forcing me to look at my classroom bookshelf and realize there was a need.

What are you writing now?

My debut novel, The Poet X, will be out March 6, 2018, and is available for pre-order. I am currently working on my second novel.

ELIZABETH ACEVEDO was born and raised in New York City and her poetry is infused with Dominican bolero and her beloved city’s tough grit.

She holds a BA in Performing Arts from The George Washington University and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Maryland. With over twelve years of performance experience, Acevedo has been a featured performer on BET and Mun2, as well as delivered several TED Talks. She has graced stages nationally and internationally including renowned venues such as The Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts, and South Africa’s State Theatre, The Bozar in Brussels, and the National Library of Kosovo; she is also well known for poetry videos, which have gone viral and been picked up by PBS, Latina Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and Upworthy.

Acevedo is a National Slam Champion, Beltway Grand Slam Champion, and the 2016 Women of the World Poetry Slam representative for Washington, D.C, where she lives and works.

Her poems have been published or are forthcoming in Puerto Del Sol, Callaloo, Poet Lore, The Notre Dame Review, and others. Acevedo is a Cave Canem Fellow, Cantomundo Fellow, and participant of the Callaloo Writer's Workshop. She is the author of the chapbook, Beastgirl & Other Origin Myths (YesYes Books, 2016) and the forthcoming novel, The Poet X (HarperCollins, 2018).
