Poeten X er en realistisk fiktionsroman, der er skrevet på vers. Det handler om den 15-årige Xiomara Batista, en begavet digter, der bor med sin familie i Harlem, NY. Romanen er fra Xiomaras synspunkt og læser som hendes personlige journal over poesi, der beskriver hendes liv, hendes syn på religion, at skulle stå over for konstant sexisme, hendes strenge dominikanske forældre, hendes nye forbudte kæreste og navigere i verden som en ung kvinde af farve forsøger at finde sin stemme.

- METAPHOR: POETRY IS A LIGHT
- .
- IMAGERY: MAMÍ ON THE SUBWAY
- Xiomara says Twin was born a soft whistle while she was born a hurricane. Her brother is quiet and meek, unable to stand up for or fight for himself. Xiomara on the contrary is steadfast in her opinions and does the fighting for both of them. Ever since they were little, Xiomara stood up to anyone who disrespected either of them using her words and her fists.
- “My brother was birthed a soft whistle: quiet, barely stirring the air, a gentle sound. But I was born all the hurricane he needed to lift -and drop- those that hurt him to the ground”
- Xiomara writes that poetry is lantern glowing in the dark. She compares her ability to write about her emotions and experiences through poetry as if it were a light in the darkness, showing the way, opening her up to be true to herself, to make friends, to take risks, and to be open to opportunities.
- "It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark"
- Xiomara depicts a very sympathetic view of her mother when she describes how hard her mother works scrubbing buildings in Queens and, exhausted, rides the subway two hours on multiple trains to get home. Xiomara respects how hard her mother works and the many sacrifices she makes for her family despite their differences and their contentious relationship.
- "Mami works . . . rides two trains in the early morning . . . her hands never stop moving . . ."
