FATES
by SallyVTruss
FATES gathers together intriguing new poetry by four Canadian women writers. Their poems weave fearlessly between youth, middle age, and the power and awareness of elder years; between intrinsic desires deeply held and outside responsibilities imposed. Their work here looks at the world with wry humour, thoughtful wit, and a deep, hard-earned compassion.
