Inaugural Publication in the Giron/Valdez Series for Unique Voices in Literature / "Teri Cross Davis has the courage to make this complex experience come to life, to address it, to let her readers know what it feels like, and to tell them she will go on, facing and giving life to a new level of understanding that is seldom addressed." - Myra Sklarew, author of Harmless "Haint is a book of life. Not a book of survival, though the poet survives, not a book of reckoning, though the poet comes to terms with many things. Haint is a book of choices, and witnessing. A book of learning the bodies territories, pleasures and sorrows. A book that constructs the irrepressible center of a soul, page by page, plank by plank. A book a reader will put down after reading and mutter yes to themselves, haunted." - Cornelius Eady "Although heartbreak is the origin of so many of these poems, it's love that makes them go. Love to which they plead and aspire and pray." - Ross Gay, author of Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude
