by Chella Courington (Author)
Hearts Forged in Resistance is a book of poetry forged in resistance: resistance to the brutality of God, the brutality of men against women, the brutality of war. Resistance to death itself. And what are the weapons of this poetry? The weapons are many voices. Voices of memory and loyalty. Love. Imagination. Sex. The beauty of language. What is buried in the grave. What rises from the grave. These poems reach around the world from here to Mexico, from here to Ukraine, like a necklace of gems, reflecting the light of Courington's spirit.
