C. P. Florez

Born in N.Y.C to Puerto Rican parents and a graduate of City University, I consider myself an explorer of human nature through literature. Although my first language was Spanish, early on, I developed an avid appetite for English language novels. After college graduation, I pursued a career in education although deep in my heart what I wanted was to travel the world and write. Summers allowed me a bit of time to write poetry and snippets of stories which I kept in spiral notebooks—the seminal work for my books. I have also created content for websites and written movie reviews. I think that my bilingualism and Hispanic heritage inform my writing quite a bit, as do my experiences as an urban dweller. However, I do enjoy fantasy, romance, and suspense novels. All those threads inspire my writing as well. I am currently working on a novel.

From Reader's Favorite:

Nenadich Street,Poems and Passages is a collection of poems and essays coming from a proud feminine voice. Humorous, sarcastic, playful, and socially relevant, the theme revolves around a woman's journey and how she handles feelings of love, hope, failures, relationships, romance, and yes, sex. Some poems are earthy, while some are extremely delicate and seem too perfect for this imperfect world. C. P. Florez is indeed a poet and essayist with her own distinct style and voice, and her next book is definitely worth watching out for. Reviewed By Maria Victoria Beltran
