A Bank Street Best Book of the Year
"A standout . . . an inspiring book for those who will see their own struggles with identity and belonging reflected within these pages. Above all, it is a book that will make many feel seen, heard and empowered." -Reyna Grande, San Francisco Chronicle
"A beautifully edited collection of reflections on the Latinx diaspora. With writers like Naima Coster, Kahlil Haywood, and Lilliam Rivera, it highlights a vast variety of identities and writing styles." -Elle
"The Bronx Is Reading founder has compiled an anthology of original nonfiction revealing a vast spectrum of Latinx experiences." -The New York Times
"In a time when far too many Latinx authors, among other writers of color, are too often overlooked, Fennell's poetic anthology collection not only tells authentic stories but does away with the monolithic definition of Latinidad we're often accustomed to seeing. It instead speaks to the wide-range of diversity that very much exists within Latinx culture while amplifying the voices and the stories that often aren't given the attention they deserve." -POPSUGAR Latina
"Saraciea J. Fennell is making history in the Latinx community by creating spaces to share Latinx literature and to spread literacy, both in her own community in the Bronx and beyond. Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed showcases the richness of the community, exploring everything from Afrolatinidad to her own Garifuna (indigenous Honduran) heritage." -Angie Cruz, Good Morning America
"[An] anthology we'd gladly wait all year for. In fifteen works of poetry and essays-from tales of the supernatural to takedowns of anti-Blackness-this
