Tracing the Horse

Set in Southern California during the '80s and '90s, Diana Marie Delgado's debut poetry collection braids together lyric verse and prose poems that follow the coming-of-age of a young Chicana trying to make sense of who she is amidst violence and drug abuse in her family. As the speaker recalls the effects of her father's addiction and her brother's incarceration, she finds healing through acceptance of the traumas that shaped her and claims a new identity through the power of resilience.
