Madonna Magdalene

"Kim Garcia has a gift for re-creating—rethinking—primary stories. She moves fluently between her own experiences and her interrogation of religious myths. Her inquisitive lyric mode and powerful religious passion have flowered into a startling book of origins, a mature and passionate first book of poems."
—Edward Hirsch
