In her debut book of poetry, Dear Voice: Speak, Jennifer Mojica-Academia shares with the reader her most honest moments, though not always pleasant, opening years of buried pain until there is nothing left to do but to speak. Jen takes a hard look at herself in poems such as "My Complete Sentence," "Starving to Be Free," and "I Am More Than a Vagina." Jen does not propose a solution to her pain, but rather a release through writing, as only a true artist can describe. She writes because she carries your voice in every word she says. She writes to validate you, so you can be seen. She writes for you, the one that needs her "silent scream" to he heard. Dear Voice: Speak, she's listening.
