Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. African & African American Studies. California Interest. "Jeanne Powell's latest collection of poetry entitled TWO SEASONS must rank among her best work, either poems or essays. These poems are inspiring and inspired because of their uncanny ability to transmit genuine feelings of rage and love, justice and injustice, with an eloquence and power that few contemporary American writers can match."—Dennis Dalton
