One of the most original performance poets of her generation, Melissa Lozada-oliva has captivated crowds across the country and online with her vivid narratives.
Peluda is a powerful testimony on body image and the triumph over taboo..
The book explores the relationship between femininity and body hair as well as the intersections of family, class, the immigrant experience, Latina identity, and much more, all through Lozada-Oliva\'s unique lens and striking voice.
Humorous and biting, personal and communal, self-deprecating and unapologetically self-loving, Peluda (meaning hairy or hairy beast) is the poet at her best.
