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."

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! Lisha Adela García is a child of the immigrant streams that form the Americas. She is a border mongrel with Spanglish, Mexico and the United States in her psyche and in her work. She has an MFA in Creative Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts and currently resides in Texas with her beloved four-legged children. Lisha also has a Master’s degree for the left side of her brain from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. Her first book, Blood Rivers, was published in 2009 with Blue Light Press of San Francisco. Her chapbook, This Stone will Speak, was published by Pudding House Press in 2008. She has numerous publications in journals including Crab Orchard Review, Mom Egg Review, Boston Review, Border Senses and many others. Lisha is also a literary translator, editor and teacher.
