Summary
"They are nine women with much in common - all German speaking, all poets, all personal witnesses to the horror and devastation that was World War II. Yet, in this collection, each provides a singularly personal glimpse into the effects of war on language, place, poetry, and womanhood."--BOOK JACKET.
