Lolita Hernandez’s writing is greatly influenced by the rhythms and language of her Trinidad and St. Vincent family, and is tempered by over thirty years as a UAW worker, twenty-one of them at the Cadillac Plant in Detroit. Her poetry has been widely anthologized and stories from this collection have appeared in The Iowa Review, The Michigan Quarterly Review, and Seeds: The Biannual Journal of Sisters of Color. She lives in Detroit.
