Bold, fresh, painful, and charged with spiritual energy, Garcia's A Rope of Luna pulls us through the cycles of life with insight, passion, and the stubbornness of a heel ground into the dirt. Poignant and sweet in its intimacy, this collection of poems immerses us in the raw wound of life as an immigrant child, as a daughter of a dying mother, as an estranged child of a faraway father, of a determined poet capturing the beauty of life in its new botanical garden where I choose the order of petal and plant. Vividly painting the experience of leaving her native land and of being immersed in a place where her ethnicity, her language, and the prejudice of local institutions mark her as the despised and the disposable, Garcia evokes an eloquence both powerful and incisive, describing her laws of survival as You bury screams in the dirt, and can't move....An unseen raptor....bites off the appendages of all you once knew to be true. A must-read volume!
