Where the Women Are Flying: new and selected poems

These poems will blow your head off, make you weep, fill you with compassion and tenderness. They sink into you before they detonate, sending out shock waves: in "each cell...the brilliant filigree of desire." WHERE THE WOMEN ARE FLYING is rich with apt imagery-"wet world quivers, like the withers of a mare," "flame thrower hair," "hands that ...curl like long dead spiders"-and with stories of four generations of women. Elizabeth Claman's book has given us a passionate search for love and life that illuminates our own lives. -Adam David Miller, author of TICKET TO EXILE and THE SKY IS A PAGE
