-Sarah Lubala, author, A History of Disappearance
This collection is a creation story all its own. Sacred and mythic, tangible and sublime, these poems are witness to identity, family, and the places that shape us like gods shaping their world.
-Michael Ramos, author, The After: A Veteran's Notes on Coming Home
Myra Tejada Rasmussen's unmistakable poems hold at their core both a vivid and rich sense of family and place. They are imbued with Incan mythology, the speaker's evocative internal journey, an utmost love of poetry and the beauty of the Spanish language, and even imaginary personal conversations with Pablo Neruda. The poems are threaded with passion and a seemingly effortless, yet mellifluous lyricism and they are lit as if from within.
-Malena Mörling, author, Ocean Avenue & Astoria
