Synopsis
La Doņa, La Llorona is a poetry book about alienation and inclusion. With imperviousness and ferocity, this famous Mexican ghost crisscrosses the northern border and makes both nations her own. La Llorona is not a sympathetic figure; she preys on children and drowns them in rivers. The stories highlight her pride, beauty, and vanity. In La Doņa, La Llorona, the ghost is a woman with a past, a story common to American mythology. She is Mexican, American, a woman unafraid, the most terrifying of specters. In a nation where immigrants face deportation, even death, La Doņa, La Llorona is a resounding voice of victory. The ultimate American, she crushes those who bind her. Undefeated. Indefatigable. A fire on the prairie. Rolling in, the blood of the tide.

About the Author
Paul David Adkins is from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He attended Mercer University, earning a BA, and, later, Washington University, receiving an MFA.

He enlisted the help of poet Kelli Agodon, allowing him to better share his war-related work. Chapbooks include Stick Up (Blood Pudding Press), The Great Crochet Question (Kind of a Hurricane Press), and The Upside Down House (Yellow Jacket Press). He works as a counselor and instructor within the SUNY University system and has taught in a state penitentiary. Adkins lives with his wife Melanie and children Lily and Malachi in New York.
