Plant disease incurable as colonialism inhabits nature's solace; funds for libraries disappear, abandoned houses compel secrets. Woolf's pen runs dry, Tesla holes up, Lincoln emerges in yet another bardo. Soldiers in Baghdad, models transformed to artists, descendants of forced immigrants, survivors of hurricanes, witnesses for peace-these and other intercessory voices step up to our world's disasters, level with its possibilities, interrogate faith, justice, militarism, madness, and the perception and affection of intimate relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Gilliland \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Fools\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Codhill Press Pauline Uchmanowicz Poetry Award, and \u003ci\u003eThe Ruined Walled Castle Garden\u003c\/i\u003e.
