Braid (Florida Poetry Series)

Poetry. Maxine Kumin has praised this exciting new poet as observant and imaginative. . . . Potions and magic spells exert a powerful hold on her work as she struggles to come to terms with her part-Hispanic, part-Midwestern background. Mia Leonin plaits her coming-of-age and coming-to-terms narrative into a sensuous and obdurate Southern identity -- C.D. Wright.
