"In The Bower, Voisine gives us a gloriously astute travelogue poem in which the conflicts and reconciliations in Belfast serve as metaphor for our current, increasingly intense world. She braids Irish folklore, history, the fragility of the environment, and the politics of class, race, and gender with our unnerving American moment. The Bower is political, profound, wise, and deeply engaging."--Denise Duhamel, author of Blowout
