The Eloquent Edge is a collection of fiction, essays, and poetry by 15 Maine Women Writers (note: none of these women were born in Maine). This isn't the kind of thing I would normally pick up for myself, but it was given to me, so I figured I should give it a chance just for the sheer fact that I support fellow Mainers. And what better time than Women's History Month!

I enjoyed some of the fiction and poetry, but for the most part, I could skipped most of it and felt okay. If you're someone who likes poetry and analyzing poetry or what it means to write poetry. This is for you.
