Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
With her swirling, luxuriant images, Bellen explores the philosophical fragments from ancient Greece, religious rituals, and writes of historical women who have transgressed the perceived boundaries of femininity. Here is slave-turned-activist Sojourner Truth holding court with Abraham Lincoln; here is Pocahontas, Calamity Jane, the outlaw Belle Starr, and Lola Montez, who after becoming the Queen of Bavaria lit out for the gold rush of the American Frontier. Each woman has her poem and each poem arcs to the others, creating an electric portrait of life's possibilities.
Review:
"THE VULNERABILITY OF ORDER is an engaging, philosophically resonant book, one as intriguing in its disconnections as in its connections."
Jeffrey Shotts, Rain Taxi Review of Books, Fall 2001
