Publisher's Synopsis
These poems are about the Biblical Women of the last chunk of the Bible. It includes some of the Bible's most flamboyant women: Vashti and Esther. It also includes the homely heroism of Ruth and the gentle eroticism of the Song of Solomon, in which Shoshanna (the Rose of Sharon) tells her story. This, of course, ignores the mentions in Proverbs of women, including the ending of the book, "A Capable Wife." There are, however, two sections, Job and Lamentations, dedicated to theology.
