Written and translated by Saraí Chavarría

"Libreto de Poesias de un Corazon Latido: Notebook of Poems from a Beating Heart is a book of "ethno-graphic poetry" and a collection of essays that come from a "de-colonized, natively awakened sense of self". In this book, Chavarría aims to spread love, hope, and awareness of how various communities coexist every day. By peeling back the layers that often divide people, such as socioeconomic status or cultural heritage, the book explores what connects everyone and what inspires people to feel, think, and connect to the divine."

"The author writes in the rhythm of spoken-word poetry and paints a picture at the same time. The collection is dedicated to Chavarría's children, Naliah and Leandro, as well as her ancestors, family, and the communities that have taught her how to feel."
