“A Conjuring of Dandelions,” A.L Garcia’s second collection of poetry, is beautiful, unsettling, compassionate, angry, but, above all else, always truthful. Her words, and the images she creates with them, take a laser light to the recesses of our psyches and the corners of our souls to reveal the hurt/hope that takes hold of our hearts. At times reminiscent of Plath, at other times Sharon Olds, Ms. Garcia’s voice is ultimately her own; her unique vision will both captivate and reward her readers. Highly recommended.” - Michael DeConzo, author of “Welcome to the Arcade” and “Two Nickels"
