Summary

• "In this volume of poetry, Margo Tamez shows us that the earth is an erotic current linking all beings, a vibrant network of birth, death, and rebirth. A sacred intertwining from which we as humans have become disconnected.".
• "Tamez shares the perspective of other creatures in images that remind us of Nature's beauty and fragility. Here too are reflections on childbirth and children - and on miscarriage, when damage inflicted on the environment by herbicides comes back to haunt all of us in our skin and bones, our very wombs. Warning of "the chemical cocktail seeping into the air ducts," she brings the voice of someone who has experienced firsthand what happens when our land and water are compromised.".
• "For Margo Tamez, earth, food, and family are the essentials of life, and we ignore threats to them at our own peril."--BOOK JACKET.
