| Summary |
"Celebrates the complexities of women's whole-self identities through poems which scrutinize the external forces that seek to control and conquer us as well as affirm the deep-seated spiritual energies within and around us that empower and sustain us. The poems traverse multiple layers of a female persona's emotional, psychological, and spiritual struggles, interweaving deep-seated insecurities about beauty, sexuality, faith, intelligence, and creativity with the constant truth of our essential strength and fortitude. They further explore a diverse array of personal experiences, political situations, and mythical images which have been used throughout the ages to manipulate and oppress women. Ultimately, the poems urge women to grasp the power within us that connects us all and which motions us towards community building and spiritual healing"--Cover, p. 4. |
