About the Book
|
When her husband, a member of the Army Corps of Engineers, deploys to England in May 1943 to help prepare for the Allied invasion of Europe, Lotte Randel rents a house in Georgetown, where she settles with her two children. In letters written to her sister Freddie (Winifred) during the next two years, Lotte chronicles daily life during the war years and her changing attitudes toward the war itself.
Her strength, her wit, and her growing sense of the absurd sustain her, as does her love for her children and her husband. But nothing can prepare her for the tragedy that she will endure, or guide her as she tries to reassemble the fragments of a shattered life.

Dark Fields: Poems and an Essay
by
Mark G. Malvasi
Standing within, but also in critical opposition to, the poetic tradition that Walt Whitman established, "Dark Fields" questions the American hope for millennial perfection. Emphasizing the judgments of history, these poems cast doubt on the conviction that America is the City of God and that Americans are His Chosen People.
