"La Plonqui is an edited volume centered on the life and literary works of Margarita Cota-C???ardenas. The title references Cota-C???ardenas's childhood nickname, "La Plonky," which comes from a made-up family ditty.

She published the bilingual novella, Sanctuaries of the Heart / Santuarios del Coraz???on, with UA Press in 2005. The critical essays in La Plonqui cover all five major works written by Cota-C???ardenas (two novels and three books of poetry). The manuscript is divided into an Introduction and three major parts. The first part presents the life of Cota-C???ardenas in two testimonial essays written by herself and a longtime colleague. The section also includes an interview with Cota-C???ardenas prepared by the volume editors. The second part contains nine essays that critically analyze Cota-C???ardenas' literary output.
