Patriarchy Blues, Paperback/Rena Priest

``Rena Priest addresses those who crave 'the meat of beasts with beets and leeks.' And while she insists that 'Nature makes you pay, ' her poems tell us that through a 'wistful song of sighs.' The world is not always comfortable, but her poems never 'lose touch with the fluidity of the spirit.' Patriarchy Blues is an amazing collection.`` --James Bertolino, author of Ravenous Bliss: New & Selected Love Poems
