Please check out my review of Sandra Steingraber's newest book, Raising Elijah, over at Literary Mama.
And then read Steingraber's Orion column, "Household Tips from Warrior Mom."
And then, please do get a copy of Raising Elijah and read it too.
Steingraber is one of my favorite nonfiction authors (thanks, Mom, for handing me a copy of Living Downstream at the library 13 years ago!); she has the superhuman ability to turn biochemistry and toxicology into poetry. I think you will love her as much as I do.
Thanks so much for the head's up on this Andrea...sounds amazingly good.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! Although, you may have scared me away from ever reading the book. The kid on the cover kinda looks like M. -Valerie
ReplyDeleteAwesome review, Andrea. You convinced me to read the book AND act on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this review and congrats on the publication. May I admit to swinging wildly about wanting to be super informed and putting my head down and getting through the day....
ReplyDeleteThank you for this eloquent and thoughtful review! I administer Sandra's "Raising Elijah" facebook page, and have linked it there. Your blog is lovely. ~Carmi
