Summary

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.
