I Wish I Had a Heart Like Yours, Walt Whitman

Description:

"In "Return of the Heroes," Walt Whitman refers to the casualties of the American Civil War: "the dead to me mar not ... / they fit very well in the landscape under the trees and grass ... " In her new poetry collection, Jude Nutter challenges Whitman's statement by exploring her own responses to war and conflict and, in a voice by turns rueful, dolorous, and imagistic, reveals why she cannot agree."--BOOK JACKET.
