"What is this creature Wendy Willis calls Blood Sisters of the
Republic? Let me offer a few excited observations: a compendium, an
almanac, a miscellany. A genealogy both personal and broadly
American. An investigation of loss. A lush, lyrical hymn to
maddening and beloved communities that define us. Willis deftly
inhabits a tremendous number of drives-the lyrically sensual, the
intimately epistolary, the historiographic-but most central to the
spirit of this stunning first collection is the drive to pay
unceasing attention to the ruined and tender world. Blood Sisters
of the Republic explodes all well-behaved notions of what a
collection of poetry might contain, insisting on a vaster and more
civic notion of the art form." -Lia Purpura, author of King Baby,
2008 Beatrice Hawley Award winner
