Using her experience as an undocumented woman during a time of incredible flux and tension, Mello's debut collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eMore Salt than Diamond\u003c\/i\u003e, speaks to her struggles while also addressing the larger cultural issues on an inclusive and global scale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLyrical, moving, deeply emotional, and sometimes painful to read, Mello uses exquisitely sharp yet widely accessible language to crack open a life in multitudes. She shines a rare light on what it means to be a Brazilian immigrant in diaspora, stretched thin between borders and fraught family tension yet belonging nowhere. Aline is poised to not only change the face of Latinx poetry in years to come but to redefine the power of undocumented creators and artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aline Mello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrews McMeel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524871024","brand":"Andrews McMeel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713317572745,"sku":"9781524871024","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3b70933a-4e16-4669-aac4-210f56e61625.jpg?v=1719608684","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/more-salt-than-diamond-poems-9781524871024","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
