A Most Anticipated Book (Refinery29, HipLatina, Publishers Weekly, Latino Book Review, and more)! Edited by The Bronx Is Reading founder Saraciea J.

Full of both sorrow and joy, Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed is an essential celebration of this rich and diverse community.

I'm not Latinx but I am another minority. The experiences described in this book resonated powerfully with me. I feel less alone after reading this book.
