In This House Are Many Women and Other Poems - Sheree Fitch - Bog

Sheree Fitch's poetry explores the realities of women's lives and the many kinds of shelter women give each other and create for themselves. At all stages of life and love, the women Fitch creates gain strength by sharing their anguish and their joy. As passionate about resilience as she is about suffering, Sheree Fitch carries her famous sense of humour even into life's dark corners. Who else but the creator of Mable Murple could conjure up Diana, the domestic acrobat who transforms her home into a circus, or Eve, the mother of us all, offering child-rearing tips? Women exploring the many meanings of their lives quickly adopted the first edition of In This House Are Many Women as their own. This enlarged volume augments that earlier collection with new poems characterized by strength, insight, and Fitch's irrepressible ebullience.
