About the book
Chelsea Guevara's Cipota breathes a lineage into a song-making music of ancestral memory: dirges of heartbreak and generational trauma, anthems of rage and reclamation, ballads of love and homecoming. Guevara's voice enchants as she delves into history, ancestry, and the self-reaching for a lineage that has been battered by strife and strangled by colonialism. She moves through place and memory with deft skill and earnest humanity. Cipota examines the grief of culture lost, of a home you've been separated from, one that doesn't truly feel like yours. Cipota is a beating heart that demands to be heard. You will be rapt from start to finish.
