Restoring the Wickedness

*Shortlisted for the 2001 Niagara Book Award This innovative new collection of lyric poetry explores women's history and contemporary issues from a feminist perspective that balances the stark realities of modern alienation and disenfranchisement with a keen eye for possibilities of redemption and renewal. At times Tihanyi uses gaps in the oldest Biblical texts surrounding Eden and the Fall to restore a female version of history long ignored, while other poems address how these same issues influence our daily lives.
