An Apple in Her Hand: A Collection from the Hudson Valley Women's Writing Group
A collection of poetry and prose by a Hudson Valley-based group of women writers.
The authors of this collection are seven older women from diverse backgrounds who are members of a long-standing Hudson Valley writing group composed of academics, a social worker, a psychiatric nurse, a teacher, and a lawyer. Some are retired, some are still working, some are musicians. All are volunteers, activists, and artists. The sections of the book-Remembrance, Joy, Visibility, Resistance, Resilience, Transformation, Aging, and Bearing Witness-grew from the authors' individual passions and from their collective perspective of being women-of-a-certain-age in a culture that tends to render older women invisible, irrelevant. This collection is filled with honest, insistent poetry and prose that demands to be heard by readers of all ages, genders, and perspectives.
