Buenos dias! It’s almost and Houston finally has a Latiné bookstore 🎉

We’ve been waiting for this new arrival!
🦋The Selena Reader: Remembering the Queen of Tejano

A literary collection honoring and memorializing Selena, the Queen of Tejano.

Thirty years after her death, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez remains a cherished figure of Mexican American popular culture, her music and celebrity resounding across the decades. This unique collection of creative and scholarly works traces Selena’s lasting impact as an entertainer and focal point of community and identity.

Assembling essays, memoir, short stories, and poems, The Selena Reader memorializes a beloved singer while also exploring the politics and personal meaning of what we remember. Selena’s devoted admirers tell us what they took from her lyrics and stage presence, the official and fan tributes, and the media and products she inspired. In one essay, Tejana coming-of-age is sharply refracted through the prism of Selena’s art and social status. Another piece considers how Selena’s body and distinctive clothing have shaped the author’s sense of q***r self. Honey Avila (aka Honey Andrews), the renowned Selena impersonator, shares vivid recollections of her hero. A father and daughter describe how their conversations about Selena changed their relationship and contributed to Chicana feminist consciousness in their lives. All told, this anthology amplifies the gratitude of generations who have loved, and learned from, Selena.

Buenos dias! Nos preparamos for another week of libros latines AND the most important day of the month: INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY🎉🎉🦋🦋

Saturday April 25th!!

🎉If you come celebrate with us, you will have the chance to see another example of what we’re about here at Dreamers!

🦋This Saturday at 6:30pm we have the honor of hosting ✨Profesora Monica Nepote✨ who will read and discuss her book of poems :
🦋LAS TRABAJADORAS 🦋

🦋Es un libro que habla de mujeres, de máquinas feminizadas, de economía, de amistad, de genealogías: hijas, madres, abuelas, de entrelazados humanos y no humanos; aborda las relaciones entre carne y metal. Habla de las resistencias, los horarios, los mecanismos y las alianzas ante las injusticias y la precarización del trabajo femenino. Es ritmo y repetición. Es un sondeo en la memoria, los archivos, una aproximación a las plantas como médiums para entablar diálogos interespecie. Lo habitan poemas-ensayo y una ficción especulativa que apunta a un futuro simbiótico, en un planeta derruido de donde surgen, entre el residuo y los despojos, las voces de plantas/mujeres/ensambladoras/trabajadoras que volverán a hacer mundo.

🦋Writer, editor, and mountaineer. Her writing practice intersects with the visual, sound art, electronic and performance formats and codes. Along with the writer Francisco Serratos she led the podcast on environmental humanities: Antropocenistas. She is co-editor of the ecopoetry anthology Semillas de nuestra tierra: muestra ecopoética mexicana, along with poet and editor Yaxchin Melchy, published by Cactus del Viento.
In 2025 she was awarded the Xavier Villaurrutia prize for her hybrid poetry essay Las trabajadoras, published by Heredad (2024). Her most recent book is Vestigios de un mundo por venir, published by Festina in 2025.
She was part of Mexico’s National System of Art Creators 2021-2024.

Buenas!! Don’t forget we have a super cool bilingual poetry reading and open mic this afternoon! What a better way to spend this chilly afternoon than on the cozy Dreamers balcony listening to our amazing Houston poets and community read their works.

(As a bonus, I heard the owner of Dreamers might read some poetry too 🤫🦋).
