Book Synopsis
Valence. Considering war through poetry and theory is a powerful rage against the brutality and greed of war; against the particular suffering of women in war; against our indifference but more importantly, our sense of powerless in the face of wars most of us neither support nor would ever instigate. Here is a poet of moral conscience in the fine tradition of Adrienne Rich; a poet writing across boundaries; striving with each form to elucidate, illuminate, change.

Trade Review
This is what a lifetime of feminism is all about finally, going out to the edge and finding your sisters there. Thank you so very much for this profound work. Kathleen Barry, author, "Unmaking War, Remaking Men"
