Speak English, You're in America is a prose poetry collection that explores the complexities of belonging. When Carolina was forced to leave the place she knew as home and started over in foreign land, her sense of belonging became blurry, and her search for a place to call home spilled into every aspect of life. This book explores the journey of missing what was left behind enough not to allow it to disappear from within, belonging or the lack of it, and the ultimate realization that home can be more than one place: one's place of birth and wherever one chooses to stay.

About the Author
Abreu, Carolina: - "Carolina Abreu is a writer based in New York City. She was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the United States in 2002. Her work has been displayed at HBO's The Inspiration Room (March 2019) and published in various publications: LNNY Blog (November 2017 - April 2019), Palabritas (Mi Mamá, December 2019), Dominican Writers Association (The Piercing on my Face Makes me Ugly & Other Lies Told by my Culture/Donde Comen Uno Comen Dos, January 2020, April 2020) and The Ice Colony (Left Behind, October 2020). With her work, Carolina looks to create a space of vulnerability, self-love, liberation and kindness; to inspire her generation and the future ones to believe in their authenticity while watering the roots planted by their ancestors. She believes in the importance of taking the strength of the past and the present and using it to create a new path that is paved with inclusivity, acceptance and healing.Speak English, You're in America is her first self-published poetry collection in which she explores what it means to belong, not just in the new country she was forced to begin calling home but in other aspects of life too. Her journey in the search for a sense of belonging takes us through her childhood, half in the Dominican Republic, half in the United States, her family life, trauma, relationships, self-discovery and lastly, the realization that she belongs wherever she chooses to stay."
