Description This stunning book was designed to read like a novel--and a page-turner, at that.
An intriguing narrator presents a creative look at the most unsung heroines of all: homeless women.
Here, they are portrayed through engaging, edgy, and accessible poetry.
The result is eye-opening, absorbing and unforgettable.
Marcy Heidish, author of many books on heroines (A Woman Called Moses, etc) worked as a volunteer with homeless women for almost twenty years.
She knows her subject--and knows how to deepen your understanding of the shadowy women in urban streets and shelters.
Without romanticizing the homeless or depressing the reader, A Misplaced Woman penetrates material that is tough and, at times, tender.
This book is a tour-de-force that may change the way you see yourself and your world.
Heidish holds a B.
With Honors from Vassar College and an M.
With Distinction from The American University.
She has taught at Georgetown, Fordham, George Washington, and Howard Universities.
Marcy is an award-winning author of 16 books: fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
She is the recipient of a National Endowment Fellowship Grant, a Schubert Fellowship, and other awards.
Praise for the poetry of Marcy Heidish: Kirkus Reviews, featuring Where Do Things Go? as one of its Books of the Month, described the work as a powerful collection of poetry in which humor is tinged with sadness, and grief is leavened with warmth.
Poems full of linguistic delights and keen emotion.
