Dreaming of you

A young Latinx poet grappling with loneliness and heartache decides one day to bring Tejano pop star Selena Quintanilla back to life. The seance kicks off an uncanny trip narrated by a Greek chorus of gossiping spirits as she journeys through a dead celebrity prom, encounters her shadow self, and performs karaoke in hell. In poems embodying millennial angst, paragraph-long conversations overheard at her local coffee shop, and unhinged Twitter rants, the poet reveals an eerie, sometimes gruesome, yet still moving love story. --.
