"When you seek revenge, dig two graves."-Anonymous
A poetry anthology for teens on a perennially important topic
 Acclaimed anthologist and teacher Patrice Vecchione has put together an immensely powerful group of poems, all of which address the timeless and uniquely human desires for revenge and for forgiveness.
"The events of September 11th inspired this book. I wanted to create a tangible forum, a book to hold in our hands, to help frame and think not just about terrorism but about who we are as individuals and who we are as a country. It's been gestating in me for all this time. Finding these poems was like turning little lights on to illumine the dark. How can beauty be made out of ugliness and fear? Can it rise from ash?"-Patrice Vecchione

Poetry. In her new book Patrice Vecchione proves you can be 'in two places at once.' Her poems drift seamlessly between the world of the living and dead...and we discover heaven is much nearer that we might suppose (Gary Young). Patrice Vecchione's poems are a wonder. They knife to the heart of the inner planet where each of us lives .... Her range is astonishing and her words soar. She is, in fact, what I call 'a poet of the pure lyric.' Her voice calls us back to the place where poetry breathes eternally -- in the language. TERRITOY OF WIND is a marvelous collection. Don't miss it (Morton Marcus). Mother, your voice is freezing. It is winter enough / for a fire. I want to see you every day. (My Mother Is A Horse) Patrice Vecchione is editor of FAULT LINES: CHILDREN'S EARTHQUAKE POETRY. Through her program, The Heart of the Word: Poetry and the Imagination, Patrice teaches poetry along California's central coast.
