Corazón
Yesika Salgado
(Author)
Description
Corazón is a love story. It is about the constant hunger for love. It is about feeding that hunger with another person and finding that sometimes it isn't enough. Salgado creates a world in which the heart can live anywhere; her fat brown body, her parents home country, a lover, a toothbrush, a mango, or a song. It is a celebration of heartache, of how it can ruin us, but most importantly how we always survive it and return to ourselves whole.Product Details

Reviews
"(Salgado) is famous around the Interwebs for providing boss ladies with sentimental poetry they can cry to between dominating in their careers and partying with their homegirls, and Corazón--filled with heart-wrenching poetry about failed love, exes who move on, as well as owning your fly and living life on your terms--doesn't disappoint." --Bustle
