"(Salgado) is famous around the Interwebs for providing boss ladies with sentimental poetry they can cry to between dominating in their careers and partying with their homegirls, and Corazón—filled with heart-wrenching poetry about failed love, exes who move on, as well as owning your fly and living life on your terms—doesn't disappoint." —Bustle
