Killing Marias

<p>In this epic poetry collection <em>Killing Marías</em> Claudia Castro Luna both poetically and physically settles spaces that were unclaimed by Latinas. Her inscription of the disappeared women of Juárez is a live cartographic image of struggle and spiritual survival. Castro Luna does not allow for these dead women to lack agency; they nourish us and the earth and they speak with their bodies literally positioning themselves as recovered entities with agency in the poet’s skilled narrativizing hands.  <br /><br /> </p>
