SEGMENTED BODIES is Medina's first complete poetry collection. It's a kaleidoscopic journey into the author's soul and worldview, a living and breathing compilation of her most important work. In these pages, the author invites us to experience the importance of a deep connection to the ancestors, the land, and its people. Rays of justice towards the creation shine in her words.
