My best friend's mother used to tell us stories of La Llorona whenever I slept over at her house. Those stories gave me the chills and so does this poem.

I love folk culture... I was there when they did this poem. Olivia Gatwood is honestly a lovely womyn. I'm glad they are sharing the old cultures in a modern way, to people who may not have heard it other wise.

I love poetry, some poems I don't understand as strongly as I do others but I won't knock a poem for what it is to the speaker. If you feel these words are your words, then you say them proudly. These two slam poets gave the time and energy it took to write, memorize, and speak these words and I will respect that above all else. Although, I would like to read this one so I can better ingest it. Great work, proud that people still feel the breath in their lungs is worth spent on speaking out.

'mis hijos" in english it's 'my children'. In the tale of la llorona, that's what she cries every night.

@theyouneek1 I am a slam poet in Albuquerque. I see these poets every week, and this poem is a version of the original, which actually DID name two students in Albuquerque who had recently passed away from overdoses on heroin. I had met both of those students. I wrote and performed poems on these kids as well, as it had rocked my community, and I felt like creating a response. I use my voice at slams quite frequently, and plan on making it to BNV with our team this year. Anything else?

@theyouneek1 You realize that llorona is a metaphor for heroin, right? I think heroin awareness is a message for the people. I know enough of the kids this poem was about who died from it to make me very aware that this poem is worth every word.

This show made me cringe. Like, I don't think I've ever hated something so much. I'm all for art and whatnot, but beat poetry is the most sickening thing in the world to me. No, her "cry" is not chilling its fucking gay. God I hate people.

God that boy looks ridiculous. Slam poetry is ruining poetry. Great poetry doesn't have to be screamed and ghettofied to reach an audience.
