A collection of imaginative and witty poems, this work displays
astonishing energy; beauty of expression; and a range of reference
to contemporary life, history, art, and literature. Including both
meditative and narrative poems, this volume frequently focuses on
extreme situations where compassion, love, and individual
determination triumph against all odds. "Daphne's Lot" explores the
life of an Englishwoman, the poet's mother, as she is caught up in
the madness of the Nigerian civil war, while "Buffalo Women"--an
epistolary sequence of poems--follows two lovers mired by the
American Civil War. Through irony and empathy, this collection
presents characters who are at odds with their societies.
