My Spoken Word Wife: Playing for Keeps (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954444010)

For all poetas, guerreras, cholas, curanderas, maestras, baby mamas, mamacitas, reinas, wilderness exploradoras, wild survivalist women, in the multiverse and interdimensional locotas! My Spoken Word Wife: Playing for Keeps is a gift for all of them, including the barrio they are from. The collection weaves a tapestry of tales from the rappera trying to make it big, to the mother struggling to make ends meet.

This book is also a socio-economic blueprint to teach social justice and class struggles for young vatos, struggling to find their place and voice, for the real machos who have stood by their chavas and empowered these mumeres to be true to themselves.

Enter the magical world of rhythm and verse crafted by Misael Juarez and go on a journey like no other.

"The streets are mean, but the gentle heart of a poet conquers the rage and puts it on the page. Beat by beat, the poetry unfolds and reveals visions from a shaman's heart. The Sacred Poet is back, and he's got your back. The Ancestors speak truth and sing through Juarez's words and declarations of freedom and liberation. "
