“In What Kind of Seed Made You, Rachael Inciarte writes an elegant and delicate study of roots inching through unfamiliar soil and plants which bear rare and uncertain fruit.” —Kristian Macaron, poet/writer of Storm, editor of Manzano Mountain Review
“This is a book that asks you how wise you are about the desert, about the world. Some poems come from the voice of a friend, a sister, or an observer of life; some come from the place of a mother's view on her skills; but all invite us to reconsider the cradle of rest available in nature.” —Ashley Wallace, genre editor of Miracle Monocle
“This book explores the undeniable facets of personal growth and universal understanding by fusing the human experience with the miraculous biological acts nature performs season after season. Its poems remind readers that growth and change are the keys to development and fulfillment. To remind readers of the powers simplicity holds, the book incorporates everything from the invisible seismic waves that shake the ground without people even realizing it to the tangible seeds those dedicated to the earth plant year after year. Part ode to the past and part rally cry of the future, this collection is delicate and intricate much like the life its pages celebrates.” —Eric Hoffer Award, Honorable Mention
