After reading the last line of this luscious and emotive collection, I didn't want the world to touch me. I can't think of anything better than to be held close by such an artful use of language, transported and beguiled. Leila's verse is a visit to a place both intimately familiar, and deliciously new. I can't wait to see what comes next. Vivienne Austen, author of 'Keaton' "The wound is where light enters you" (Rumi) becomes in Leila Lois's flesh into blossom "The wound is where you enter me"-more personal, embodied, and intimate.

In her poems, Leila explores a personal sense of origin that, like the ocean, binds several landscapes and times, coming back to the idea that a timeless, boundless love pervades. Her publishing history includes Southerly Journal, Djed Press, Right Now, Lite Lit One, Delving Into Dance and Salient
