Inaugural Publication in the Giron/Valdez Series for Unique Voices in Literature / "A haint is term for the dead, but in Teri Cross Davis' hands, 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
