The Daughterland

By Margaret Elysia Garcia

"the daughterland is a Plathian interrogation of Mexican motherhood during the regressive Covid-era by a mother who was a daughter during the arms race, Ronald Reagan, and socially-accepted toxic masculinity. Garcia's poems are the secrets parents wish they didn't have to keep to themselves."--Michelle Cruz Gonzales, Musician, professor, author of The Spitboy Rule
