DRONE (2016)

"Kim Garcia has entered deeply into our recent hidden nightmare with her eyes and heart wide-open and made something of beauty out of the terrible and incomprehensible. Fittingly, things are always falling from the sky in these poems—rain, fire, the sound of bells, swords, two crows, sunlight—and we are, as usual, down below, dumbstruck, looking anxiously, hopefully, upward."

–  Nick Flynn

"This is a necessary book of meditation, of prayer, in a time of drones. Kim Garcia moves through innumerable facets of our American lives in order to understand what has happened to her soul. For drones are what hover around every poem here. Silently and unseen. When we tend our gardens, work our jobs, lawns, fields, when we dream or listen to our children or say our prayers alone or in church. The drones are never "somewhere else."
