About This Book
“[The poems’] compassionate voices turn with anger and wonder and ironic humor to the realities of survival.”
—<em>Sojourner</em>
“<em>Romance and Capitalism at the Movies</em> is the testimony of a highly educated, deeply rooted, profoundly concerned woman, critical of her time and seeing beyond it.”
—<em>The Beloit Poetry Journal</em>
“I relish that the poems are spoken by a woman who is about to do something: tend the garden, go off to work, care for a child. That, I know, is not the sort of thing a man is supposed to say in public now about a woman, but I wanted to say it, knowing how much I would like to be described as a domestic poet myself…These poems give their insights generously to us.”
—Wendell Berry
