A new release by Liliana Valenzuela featuring poems in English and Spanish

Taking the reader through a sensual journey through love, transitions, and growth, Liliana's latest book is a feast for the senses. Codex of Love was released in March 2020 and is published by FlowerSong Books. You may order your copy here. 

​​"These are poems sin el qué dirán, sin censura, sin vergüenza, uncensored, unbuttoned, unapologetic, swimming desnuda between the many worlds women inhabit, blazing of sulphur and volcanoes, wrapped in corn husks and banana leaves, somersaulting between here and allá, and that fertile womb in between."

"Estos son poemas sin el qué dirán, sin censura, sin vergüenza, uncensored, unbottoned, unapologetic, nadando naked entre los muchos mundos que habitan las mujeres, ardiendo de azufre y volcanes, envuelta en hojas de maíz y de plátano, dando saltos mortales entre el aquí y el allá, y ese vientre fértil de por medio."

—Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street
