An Evening of Poetry: Celebrating Carol Dine's Blood Moon

Blood Moon explores twentieth and twenty-first century history through the stories of women who acted heroically under the most extreme circumstances, at great personal danger, during wartime and times of political oppression. It also focuses on the lives of women artists who documented the violence of their times through their art. The author drew on many memoirs in the writing of this collection, and the poems are both powerful and redemptive. Edited by Jennifer Barber, Linda Cutting, Tehila Lieberman
