The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo: A Playlist
Julianna Concepcion | Staff Writer Recently in one of my courses, I was asked to read Elizabeth Acevedo's The Poet X. I found it to be riveting, culturally aware, and beautiful; the book felt so connected to music and Latin Caribbean culture; that my mind kept moving in the "musical" direction as I was reading it. So, I made a playlist! If you've read the book, it would make more sense. It's written in free verse poetry, making it a short, semi-easy read. I recommend! Norma
