“Maria Garcia Teutsch’s poems are understated protests that pack a wallop.
Child separated at the border pulled away from mother “like meat from a bone”; “America/your face is razor-/wired”. Blessings on the poet-citizens who hear the sobs “no one hears”. The Swallows of America is a reminder for all of us to take heed to vocalize atrocity and act on convictions that wrench the heart. Poetry is an emanation of the heart.”
