Skirted Issues

by Denise Duhamel

From the back cover: "In deftly-written narratives, outrageous, and sometimes heartbreaking, Denise Duhamel has found just the right voice for making poems that take a swipe at the myths America lives by. Fiercely honest, and on the mark, her poems are welcome news indeed, and deserve our praise." --Colette Inez
