“Not only is [Sisters of the Earth] a pleasure; it is relevant and even urgent—politically, aesthetically and spiritually.” —The Women’s Review of Books

“These voices remind, rejoice, bewail, berate—with love, joy, compassion, energy, nerve and outrage—and we’d better pay attention.” –Janet Kauffman, author of Places in the World a Woman Could Walk

“The voices of . . . women—white, black, Native American—sing out in this luminous anthology, which spans centuries, genres, and literary careers…. Taste and sensitivity are evident throughout.” –Publishers Weekly
