News at Eleven: In today's world, as women struggle

to balance work and family, to be good mothers and friends, to care for our children and our parents, poetry can help us accept our limitations, and inspire us to overcome them. In a world where language is too often used to manipulate, poems can help us find our authentic voice.

The book is divided into sections that seem broad enough to encompass the milestones in a woman's life--"Falling in Love," "Breaking Up," "Marriage," "Motherhood," "Death and Grief"--but they are intended as helpful, if arbitrary, dividers.
