From the publisher:

"Violeta Garcia-Mendoza's luminous debut seeks out ways of coping in a complicated age. Exploring the constraints and anxieties of midlife in the midst of climate breakdown, of motherhood in a period of personal and planetary vulnerability, these poems speak to the persistence of nature, creativity, and love: necessary sources of hope and beauty, the ties that bind us to this shared and sacred place. Here is a lyrical and resonant new songbook for survival, a flight across the uneasy darkness, a shining course through the 'wreckage strung with violets.'"

Editorial Reviews call it:

"A gorgeous spell of a collection..." 

-- Carolyn Oliver, author of The Alcestis Machine

"A radiant debut, the intellect, the spirit, and the imagination...winged and soaring." 

--Chelsea B. DesAutels, author of A Dangerous Place

"Ruminative, brooding, and analytical...wise poems situated squarely in the wounded, beloved world." 

--Chloe Martinez, author of Ten Thousand Selves

"Lush and painterly...poems that attest to the best, most tenacious, most hopeful parts of us." 

--Claire Wahmanholm, author of Meltwater
