Handsome binding of light brown half cloth with black titled, black/gold parchment like boards. Immaculate; tight, solid, square with sharp corners. Internals pristine. Jacket shelf-rubbed, else Fine. Cooley explores the bonds between sisters, mothers and daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters, with a chorus of voices, voices of the martyred, the imprisoned, the exiled, the silenced, the forgotten; and as they shift from eastern Europe to Cambodia to New Orleans, it becomes clear in these poems that our world with its ritualized misogyny is a dangerous place for women. Over all of them floats the reasuring spector of Rose, a Hungarian matriarch, with her voice of guidance, of communal wisdom, of warning. 79 pages. 9.5 x 5.75 inches. Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge and London, 1996.
