As a child of Puerto Rican migrants on Chicago's Southside, Mayda's Del Valle's poetry utilizes part Spanish and English, part hip-hop and salsa, part Nas and Sonia Sanchez, part Shakespeare and John Leguizamo. It is inherited history as well as traditions remixed and invented. The beauty of this collection is that the poet manages to curate the flow such that the reader can DJ the poems.

Del Valle creates autobiographical narratives that utilize spoken word poetry and music, intended equally for the page and live performance. Rooted in the aesthetics of hip-hop and the urban Latino experience, the poems here explore themes of healing, transformation, and the recovery of ancestral memory in the modern-day diaspora. The beauty of this collection is that the poet manages to curate the flow such that the reader can DJ the poemsarrange their own set and thus, to borrow a phrase from that system, spin their own performance.
