Wendy Brown-Baez writes in the heat from ecstatic love, loss,
Mexico, and New Mexico. She has the poetry muscles and music for
this harsh calling. Quemado, Que madre These poems are very
powerful

It's hot and humid at 4:30 am in New York and I can't sleep, I
turn to my in-box. There is news of a friend's child just born and
with another click news of a book being born as well. It brings
back an image of a poet performing a poem in New Mexico years ago,
she wrapped herself in a shawl and spoke of falling in love in the
Middle East. You're holding the book in your hands and in the magic
way of words and stories, you're holding that baby as well. That's
what Wendy does, she connects us with words and wraps us in the
safety of a shawl so we can fall in love with poetry once again.
Gary Glazner, Founder of the Alzheimer's Poetry Project
Ceremonies of the Spirit takes us on a journey from surrendering
the things-and people-we love, to being transformed as a result of
that process. The poems in this collection are rich with images
that leave us feeling both the pain of tears cupped "to the heart
like a string of pearls" and the wonder of transformation like the
"dancer somersaulting against the window pane." These
emotionally-charged poems remind us what it's like to be
human.
John Medeiros, recipient of Minnesota State Arts Board and Jerome
Foundation Grants and co-curator of the GLBT Reading Series of
