Super Short Summary

In her debut poetry collection, One-Bedroom Solo (2011), Sheila Maldonado navigates her identity as a Honduran woman in New York City through the lens of classic bachata music and genres like rap, hip-hop, and funk, reflecting on themes such as heritage, identity, and the socio-political challenges of urban life. Sensitive topics such as immigration, gender, and socio-political pain are explored with depth and frankness.
