Synopsis
A new collection of poetry by the author of Sex Wars presents a lyrical, often humorous, study of the physical and personality traits she has inherited from wildly mismatched parents, the impact of her Detroit upbringing and slum girlhood, and her thoughts on the war in Iraq, hurricane Katrina, and the war on women's rights, love, and nature's cycles. 10,000 first printing.
