En el Silencio, Yo Canto
is a powerful bilingual poetry collection that weaves together themes of identity, heritage, love, fury, and healing. Through verses written in both English and Spanish, Kat Cortez explores the experience of growing up between worlds-immigration, silence, resilience, and the strength carried forward by generations of women.
Structured in five sections-
Raíces (Roots)
,
Heridas (Wounds)
Amor (Love)
Furia (Fury)
, and
El Canto (The Song)
-this debut collection offers a journey from memory to self-discovery, from silence to voice. Each poem speaks to the complexities of belonging, the fire of self-love, and the beauty of embracing one's roots.
