Produktbeschreibung
Meditating on her own experience of girlhood, marriage, and the mothering of a daughter, Getty combines a feminist outlook with a lively sense of connection to the natural and mythic realms from which the forces of generation emerge. Her poems, centered in domestic suburbia, range outward through those ancient realms and backward through the history of her family's women.

In doing so she reveals a startling sense of humor, which is another way of saying that she has come to terms with reality. These poems - spirited, thoughtful, autonomous - reflect her response to that reality.
