VOX ATL Interviews Elizabeth Acevedo, Author of "The Poet X"

"The Poet X," Elizabeth Acevedo's experimental debut novel, tells the story of sophomore Xiomara, the daughter of Dominican immigrants, making her voice heard in a world that doesn't want to hear her-- in prose. Acevedo weaves poetry and her own memories of being a teenager into this loud and human book, which quickly made its way to the YA New York Times Best Sellers list. www.VOXATL.com.
