The Muse: An Anthology of Women Writers is a collection that honors the body as storyteller, soothsayer, and living legacy. Led by award winning poet Peggy Robles- Alvarado and inspired by the ancient teachings of the Taino, Lukumi and Palo traditions, these women pulled at complex histories, challenged misnomers, and made connections to their muses through body and spirit. The result is a passionate collection of poetry that celebrates the magic of self- discovery, forgiveness and healing in the name of joy.
