Description

Poetry. "From the boldly erotic to the elegiac--to say nothing of some of the unblinking vignettes of the shameful history of our times--Susan Rich gives us a collection of poems sensual yet exact in their language, generous in the range and power of their emotion"--J.M. Coetzee. Garrett Hongo and Naomi Shihad Nye have also championed Rich's sensuous, highly contemporary, activist-oriented lyricism. Rich has served as an electoral monitor in Bosnia, a human rights educator in Gaza, and a writer-in-residence in Zimbabwe.
