The Amerie’s Book Club selection for the month of May is HAVE YOU BEEN LONG ENOUGH AT TABLE by Leslie Sainz!
Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG, and join me and Leslie Sainz on my IGLIVE (@Amerie) at the end of the month. Bring your questions!
In this gorgeous, tense, and at times morbid, poetry collection, Leslie Sainz dissects the Cuban American experience from a multitude of angles: the push-pull between the United States and the Republic of Cuba; the relationships that, like tides, pull us in and push us away; food as metaphor for identity and relationships. Underlying the quiet beauty of the narrator’s observations: the low hum of unease. The poems within the pages of Have You Been Long Enough at Table have enough layers to keep a reader busy for days, long after putting down the book.
