Women of America - Poems

Women of America is an affecting meditation on the mysteries of what drives the heart by one of America's most distinguished poets. Charlie Smith draws the poems in this volume from the tussle and cry of love, in remembrance of love's journey from fantasy to fact and back again, and in anticipation of loving the way we were meant to.
