About This Book

A collection of lyrical poems that interweave wartime reflection, spiritual vision, and domestic life, often centering on women's work and resolve. Several pieces reimagine a Joan of Arc figure leading moral and martial renewal, while others meditate on childhood, law, love, and seasonal moments. Ballad-like songs address soldiers and homefront duties, and the volume alternates intimate, contemplative lyrics with more public, exhortatory verse, balancing sorrow, courage, and the sustaining power of daily labor.
