    I went to this reading in 2019 to meet both of these writers. I appreciate the poetry of sam sax and it was exciting to hear Erika L. Sánchez’s read her poetry, too. I read Erika’s YA novel, ‘I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter’, for my YA literature class, so I was able to meet her and get my book signed.
