Swimming with Elephants Publications

The Blood Poems is one part bloodletting, one part healing, and one part sensuous celebration as Jessica Helen Lopez lays out what it means to be a strong brown woman, a single mother, and the kickass bard that the twenty-first century needs. Lopez openly faces a damaging childhood, sex, divorce, and racial injustice in these poems. She proves that love is as complicated as lovemaking--messy and lusty, raucous and powerful, capable of amazing highs and abysmal lows. She proves that when a woman learns to love herself, she will live a fierce and full life and teach her daughters to do the same.

The Blood Poems (The Albuquerque Poet Laureate Series)

University of New Mexico Press

"Every generation a few select voices seem to rise up and represent a revolution in the mechanics and mission of poetry. This collection is an exotic, aphrodisiacal perfume wafting through the senses, thickly spiced by the dual nature of a poet whose culture and experience effortlessly blend concrete imagery with a quiet, fierce longing for a world that may only exist within memory--or verse. Jessica Helen Lopez sings in these poems; they are signal flares drawn from those pivotal moments of living that evoke the feminine, the sensual and the surreal in equal measure. These are the songs of the bruja, the bread-heavy hands of a mother, the beautiful indignation of a hopeless optimist."--Zachary Kluckman

Always Messing With Them Boys

West End Press

Breathtakingly tender, playful, and generous one moment; sharp and unapologetically brutal the next, these poems by Lopez transport the reader into the complex landscape of feminine power with a dynamic but inarguable force. Honest to the marrow, Lopez never sugarcoats. And yet this work rings with a sweetness nonetheless: the kind it takes a warrior to earn. Jessica Helen Lopez knows what she’s fighting for, what has been lost, and where to attack to set the wheels of justice in motion. Most importantly, she has the teeth for it. Read this book and she’ll help you discover yours.
