"Ana Lara's KOHNJEHR WOMAN Evokes a world such as only narrative poetry can. In a series of concise, orally grounded and visually vivid poems, she introduces the mysterious avenger, Shee, who upends daily life, and all the lives, on an antebellum plantation. KOHNJEHR WOMAN's spell endures." —John Keene
