This River: an epic love poem

by Judy Hogan

Published by Wild Embers Press, "This River" is Judy Hogan's sixth book of poetry, an epic love poem written as the result of her travels to and love of, a Russian writer. Work in writer exchange circles between Durham, North Carolina and Kostroma, Russia took Ms. Hogan to that ancient town on the Volga River and after twenty years, she shares the details of her cross cultural, personal love. Kindled back in the 1990's and holding true to her early doctrine of women speaking our truths, this book reveals Hogan's love with deep vulnerability. And speaks as much to her romantic encounter as to the reverance she carries for nature, for the Earth that sustains her own creative heart and soul.
