No Winter Maintenance : Pass at Your Own Risk

Donna Marie Merritt?s sixth book of poetry begins with her husband?s infidelity and makes clear from the start that no woman (certainly not this poet) will put up with that. Searching for answers and navigating new territory alone, Merritt?s poems sing out that strong women (and men) may bend, but they won?t break. This collection of sixty poems includes a wide range of reflections and observations about society, human behavior, and the healing gift of nature.
