5.0 out of 5 stars
A masterful, resonant collection of wonders,
By Henkewi (steppes of Central alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ordinary and Sacred As Blood: Alabama Women Speak (Paperback)
This is a splendid bouquet of wildflowers and orchids-- tender, beautiful, fragile weeds and hybrids; there are moments of exultation and sorrow, some caught with the fastest, most spontaneous strokes, some with precision and care. All are masterful and resonant and they stick in the memory for a long, long time.

By A Customer
This review is from: Ordinary and Sacred As Blood: Alabama Women Speak (Paperback)
I laughed, cried, and identified with many of the poems and stories. I sent copies to my sisters and nieces, all of whom said they read the book in one sitting, couldn't put it down.

Beautifully organized and presented.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ordinary and Sacred As Blood: Alabama Women Speak (Paperback)
A collection of poems and stories certain to stimulate and entertain, to provoke and soothe. As I read the writings of these Alabama women, I was fed a satisfying taste of southern life, both of today and in the past. A must read!
