Why I Am Like Tequila

Poetry collection by Lupe Mendez poet teacher and activist. Why I Am Like Tequila is a collection of poetry spanning a decade of writing and performance. This collection exists in 4 parts - each a layered perspective a look through a Mexican/ Mexican-American voice living in the Texas Gulf Coast. Set within spaces such as Galveston Island Houston the Rio Grande Valley and Jalisco Mexico these poems peel away at all parts like the maguey drawing to craft spirits quenching a thirst between land and sea.
