QUOTIENT is a celebration of codes that make up our world: DNA, language, geometry, Fibonacci, song, rhizomes, the lovely legerdemain and arithmetic of the body. 'Do you remember / in radiolarian, the images / etched in microscopic minerals? / Once you were a butterfly, ' Zamora muses; reminding us of the beauty in pattern, how each coil builds upon the next, how each mathematical sequence of our existence is a kind of quotidian magic; her poems act as microscopes fitted to the eye of the reader. A book of revelations, QUOTIENT looks past death, destruction, grief--focuses instead on the miraculous echo of tree rings, & loss / is loss no more--with an intensity and tenderness that catch like a sob of joy in the throat.--Deborah Miranda, author of Bad Indians: A Tribal Memoir and Alter for Broken Things
