Write a review. “Valence: Considering War through Poetry and Theory is a powerful rage against the brutality and greed of war; against the particular suffering of women in war; against our indifference but more importantly, our sense of powerlessness in the face of wars most of us neither support nor would ever instigate. Susan Hawthorne’s primary companion to this rage is her grief. Robyn Rowland, author of 'Perverse Serenity'
Here is a poet of moral conscience, in the fine tradition of Adrienne Rich, a poet writing across boundaries; striving with each form to elucidate, illuminate, change.” But oh, “undoing hatred is a pilgrimage of hurt . . .” oh yes, and this is what a lifetime of feminism is all about finally, going out to the edge and finding your sisters there. Thank you so very much for this profound work. Kathleen Barry, author of 'Unmaking War, Remaking Men'
