A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

From the acknowledgments: "Thanks to Ellen Kort for setting these poems in motion at the Green Lake Writers' Conference in July, 2003. I am grateful for her continued support. Thanks also to John Oberwetter for his critical expertise."

From the author's afterword: "I wrote these poems as a response to events preceding and during our nation's involvement in Iraq. One by one they tell a story of war. As I put this collection together in July of 2004, the conflict continues."

From the back matter: "Janet is a poet, teacher and advocate for peace. She is a member of the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets and the Academy of American Poets. She works on her poetry with several local groups of writers. Her poems have been published in The Wisconsin Poets' Calendar, The Windy Hill Review and Siftings from the Clearing.
