Publisher Marketing: Much like the star in our sky, Vega is a dazzling light for those who struggle with grief, depression, and loss. Written by poet and publisher Christina Vega, this sophomore poetry collection centers the Chicana experience amid the rippling effects of unexpected loss within multigenerational families, strained familial dynamics, and reconnecting with ancestral ties. Vega is a book about finding power within liminality, rather than a path away from it.
“Compiling, editing, and writing these poems provided a glittering tether back to my family in El Paso, TX, if only for a few moments each day. For me, writing reconnects me with my roots.” – Christina Vega
