"After a tragic miscarriage and a year spent locked in an asylum, Clara Blackstone travels north to meet her husband Henry for a fresh start, but she's haunted by foggy memories of the past year and a growing distrust of her husband for committing her. After a tense reunion, their carriage runs into a mob surrounding mass murderer Mary Ann Cotton as she's brought to Durham Jail to await trial. When Clara learns that Cotton is not only pregnant but accused of murdering her own children and stepchildren, she begins to visit her regularly in prison, trying to reconcile Cotton's own account of her actions with the shocking allegations against her in sensational newspaper accounts that scandalize the male-dominated Victorian society. As their relationship intensifies, Clara begins to reinvent herself as she fights against her increasingly controlling husband for her own sanity, her freedom, and the truth about her past."--Provided by publisher.

The Aspen Poets' Society-a diverse democracy of poets on the Western Slope of Colorado. Grocery clerks, teachers, transplants, musicians, miners, counselors, students, designers, housewives, fishing guides and librarians, backwoods squatters, dancers and trust funders, or as Walt Whitman might have said, a piece of "America singing."These poets gather in a variety of venues to honor the word, speak and share the word with each other and with whomever will listen. This democracy of poetry welcomes all forms of poetry. Some of the guest poets featured are from neighboring states.This anthology represents as many of these voices as we could solicit from poets who have in one way or another participated in this west-of-the-Continental Divide chorus, at that monthly poetry reading in Aspen that has kept pace with the changing years, representing poetry delivered at the open mic of the Aspen Poets' Society, Ink, over approximately a decade. Aspen Poets' Society is located in Aspen, Colorado, in the Roaring Fork Valley.
