Leaf's Boundary

Sheila Zamora’s writing on threats to her life can be located in the posthumous "Leaf’s Boundary." We have Zamora’s collection thanks to Pamela Stewart, an ASU faculty member at the time of Sheila's death who assembled the delicate and strong poems in an exquisite order. Zamora's poems are written with the tenderness she was seeking in others. To her poems Zamora brings gracefully worded attention to light, color, object, and line. The context of this delicacy, however, was a violent home life she was trying to escape.
