Braid

By Mia Leonin

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.

Customer Reviews

A wonderful book!

There is so very much to praise about this book. It wagers cohesiveness in the face of multiplicity and succeeds brilliantly. It presents to us women's lives in fresh and multi-faceted ways. Most of all Leonin surprises and invigorates us in poem after poem with the strength of her language - sound and sense. Mia Leonin is an author well worth reading and knowing and Braid is a work of grace, nuance, and great achievement.
