Items related to Birthed from Scorched Hearts: Women Respond to War
Award-winning author MariJo Moore asked women from around the world to consider the devastating nature of conflict—inner wars, outer wars, public battles, and personal losses. Their answers, in the form of poignant poetry and essays, examine war in all its permutations, beginning in 60 CE and continuing into the 21st century, from Ireland to Iraq and everywhere in between. With contributions from both well-known and first-time writers, this moving anthology encompasses a wide range of voices—a Blitz evacuee, an ex-slave, an incarcerated mother, former military personnel, survivors of domestic violence, those who have battled drugs and disease, and many other courageous women willing to share their unique and timeless insight on the realities of war.

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)
