Girl Again

"From the simplicity of poetry from a childlike, innocent point of view, Christine Madline Ellsworth brings readers through a series of poems, both complex and often openly confessional, to a conclusion that delivers them onto yet another path. Here, then, is the process of life from a singularly female vista: moving from one stage to the next--though rarely smoothly or easily, and not without a bump or two. Beginning with the assassination of JFK, first love, and on through abusive marriages, forgiveness threaded with current health, social media and environmental concerns, transformation is the residual effect of these poems."--Back cover.
