Poetry. "RESISTANCE gets it right: poem after poem like brick upon brick builds a yes to life. We hear the complexity of power, its brutal hold on a woman, and we see its strength to make action, courage and change. I don't know when I've felt more inside the pages of a book. Witness to wars at home and in the Middle East, Pakistan and Ireland, these poems speak a truth our hearts open to because Zeidenstein has crafted them to enter our bodies. I must give them to my sister and friends, these poems of hot, tough, sweet love that say 'look, look what we have created'"—Myra Shapiro.
