<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Poetry for the new century: awake to the world, spiritually profound, and radiant with lyric intelligence. --Carolyn Forché<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Winner of the 2011 Barnard Women Poets Prize, <em>Our Lady of the Ruins</em> tracks a group of women through their pilgrimage in a mid-apocalyptic world. Exploring war, plagues, and the search for a new God in exile, these poems create a chorus of wanderers haunted by empire, God, and personal trauma.</p><p> <em>from "Hysteria: A Requiem"</em> </p><p> <em>Now, in the last world, we bury nightingales<br /> beneath the floor.<br /> Trackers with their ears to the ground listen<br /> for angels approaching.<br /><br /> Where is the saint, mortally torn and wearing a<br /> hood of stars, <br /> bearing her own redemption?</em> </p>
