Synopsis
All of the poems Jane Cooper published in books (and 18 poems she left out of them) are collected in this book. Poems on heroic women like Georgia O'Keeffe, Rosa Luxemburg, and Willa Cather take their places next to poems about Cooper's childhood and heritage. An autobiographical essay--"Nothing Has Been Used in the Manufacture of This Poetry That Could Have Been Used in the Manufacture of Bread"--rounds out the collection.

Industry Reviews
"One of the most unexpected pleasures of...[this book] is its original vision of an historical process in which national identity and feminist principles merge....Poem after poem...scrutinizes historical contexts and their attendant social patterns in terms of their effect on the outsider with a quiet and lucid compassion."
Snodgrass
"Whether surveying the oils of O'Keeffe, the novels of Cather, or the plight of King Kong, Cooper handles with equal assurance public statement and private reflection, each marked by what she values as 'the sanity of observed detail.'"
New Yorker (01/10/2000)
"[I]mpressive and comprehensive...."
