About the Book:
The Sociology of a Miami Girl is the debut poetry collection by musician and academic Kelsey Milian, who intersects her multi-ethnic identities together to navigate the social-cultural world. As the daughter of Latinx immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Japan, and Europe, Kelsey uses personal and poetic narratives to retell lessons and connect to her indigenous Zapotec and K’iche Maya identity. She blends the personal and political by blending poems on healing, micro-aggressions, self-love, romance, and family to redefine what it means to be a woman of color. Kelsey’s work is a thank-you letter to her relatives and ancestors who represent a community of sacrifice and resilience.
