Digging Up My Bones Judith Tarr

Gwyndyn Alexander, is one of the essential poets of our generation. Her poems strike deeply into the heart of the pain and joy of being a woman in a patriarchal society, her work speak truth to power in a way that only her heartfelt and stunningly crafted poems can do. She writes words that only she can write, but when read, they are the essence of the common thread of life that binds us all, they speak of hope and healing, rage and despair, and most of all a call for a just society that values the life, talents, and joys of us all in better world. A great philosopher once said, "We are All One," variations of that theme form the basis of all good things in the beliefs of better people everywhere. In this work Gwyndyn shows us how she has risen, how we can all rise, to be recognized in a world that does not see the unity of our souls, the unity of our pain, and the unity of triumph if we are to to become one. It is an epic work by an epic woman. Read and enjoy.
