"Tender but tough." That's how one poet characterized Linda M. Lewis's poems of love and spite, loss and triumph. Linda gratefully accepts the appraisal. A professor emerita of Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, she has been an activist, critic, educator, editor, wife, mother, and grandparent. She is the author of numerous critical essays and four books: The Promethean Politics of Milton, Blake, and Shelley; Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Spiritual Progress; Germaine de Staël, George Sand, and the Victorian Woman Artist; and Dickens, His Parables, and His Reader. This is her first volume of verse.
