Rooted

With a voice that rings true and beautiful in every verse, poet Miriam Damaris Maldonado (Mardivino) leads the reader onto a journey of the senses, a journey not only of the discovery of her colorful, passionate poetry, but, truly, towards the discovery of oneself through the mirror of her poems. As she unravels and blooms in metaphors and images too succulent to ignore, the reader is slowly drawn into this new-born universe of scents, roots, and blossoming human-landscapes that she knits and weaves with expert hands: strong enough to defend, lift, and empower other women and soft enough to caress the world into something extraordinary and special.
