Weaving Rosemary Ybarra-Garcia

"Weaving" is a book of poems in which the author searches for identity among the many, sometimes conflicting, vestiges of colonization, hybridity, immigration, and transformation. The author shares introspective thoughts in colorful vignettes as she introduces the reader to cultural and spiritual influences from her Mexican heritage. Poems like "Basket Weaving," "Trenzas," and "Branches" interlace, intertwine, and braid identities-all teetering on a temporal fence in this liminal space of tension, rejection, and acceptance.
