"Chrys Tobey's a woman is a woman is a woman is a woman is a book in which Gertrude Stein's roses and Freud's cigars collide. These witty, poignant poems--eco-feminist in their approach, abundant in their gestures and forms--engage our cultural moment while re-imagining the world's flawed history that got us here. Anaphora abounds, building, then subverting, then building again. The personas of her 'bitch goddesses' will make you laugh and rethink everything." -- Denise Duhamel
