In this, her third collection of poems, Eleanor Wilner revises a number
of our culture's central myths; invoking figures as diverse as Briar
Rose and Miriam the Prophet, she casts upon their stories, and choices,
an enlivening feminist perspective.
"There is so much that is impressive in Wilner's mature poems. In an era
which has been labelled 'The End of History, ' she examines history's
less obvious lessons. If the past is to teach us, she seems to say, then
we must re-invent and re-shape it."--Poetry
