Swimming with Elephants Publications, LLC is excited to announce the release of Provocateur by Jessica Helen Lopez.
“Jessica Helen Lopez‘s poetry is viscerally vulnerable. With grace and poise she fearlessly dances with her demons returning triumphant and beautifully human.”
~Manuel González
City of Albuquerque Poet Laureate Emeritus (2016-2018)
“Provocateur is the way the word ‘woman’ feels in the gut– heavy and visceral, the malleable form that is holy and so often taken for granted. These words are a weapon or a blessing, a warrior or a priestess. Lopez navigates the landscape of femininity without shying away from it’s most ferocious instincts. It is the reclamation I want my daughter to read on the days she does not feel good enough. Jessica Helen Lopez reminds us how to live without sin– one of the greatest lessons we have to offer. How to find the grace in our everyday selves. This book is church.”
~SaraEve Fermin, Author of Trauma Carnival
