These poems invoke exquisite imagery to tell the truth about exploitation, cruelty, betrayal, and displacement. The stories of these women burn themselves into your heart.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Terry Wolverton, poet, novelist, and author of 12 books, including \u003cem\u003eRuin Porn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe War Still Within\u003c\/em\u003e is the poet's fifth book, and contains 36 poems (25 of which are reprinted from a range of literary venues).
