Overview

The Patron Saint Of Skanks: A Memoir is a consistently gut wrenching, yet surprisingly funny, collection of poems that tell a kind of coming of age story that rightfully compares itself to the unexpected beauty of a flower blooming from the cracks in concrete. Jacquie Velasco writes with a brutal clarity so sharp, you don't realize it's left you bleeding until after you've finished the unique collection of metamorphosis, regret, grief, child abuse, homelessness, infertility, adoption, falling in love, and the sisterly advice tenderly given by a high paid escort. Her poetry takes the worst of life's weeds, and turns them into a bouquet of resilience.
