Review:
Birthed from Scorched Hearts will make some readers feel... heard, vindicated, empowered or inspired to reevaluate their perception of war and their passive acceptance of it within society. All readers have the rare opportunity to question the current human condition with a view toward the betterment of all. --On The Issues Cafe, January 2009
This is a powerful and unforgettable reading experience, one of the few contemporary anthologies of women poets writing freely about war and its consequences. Linda Hogan, Demetria Martinez, Rochelle Ratner, Paula Gunn Allen, and dozens of others confront the age-old forces of destruction with poetry and prose that ultimately deliver a sense of hope. The writing covers wars spanning the globe and crossing generations. Given the time we live in, this book is essential and will leave its mark on the reader. --The Bloomsbury Review (May/June/July 2009)
