In this chapbook, Najarro's poems and Trenchard's paintings dialog about the feminine as power and life force, where volatility is strength and symbolized through the theme of vulcanism. Najarro's poems and Trenchard's paintings draw on vibrant earth energy so that the written word and image come together in conversation. In addition, theirs is a fiery collaboration between cultures where Latinx and White coexist, harmonize, and create a vision for a world where the vitality of women is highlighted in art.

Adela Najarro often writes about her family's emigration from Nicaragua to the United States. She has published three poetry collections, and her work appears in numerous anthologies and literary magazines.

Janet Trenchard's abstract paintings often reference geological elements. She views her artistic journey as channeling the earth's feminine power. She has exhibited throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
