Hunger - Paperback

by Lola Haskins (Author)

This book is about soul hunger. In it, you'll find two women's stories, one set in the 18th century, one early in the 19th, and a Women's Encyclopedia from the beginning of the 20th. The rest of the book lives in the now. There's no title poem, because the that ache is the subject of everything.
