Here , the story of Mother Ann Lee's (Founder of the Shaker Religion) childhood in Manchester, England; her imprisonment for blasphemy: her visions; and her departure for America are all told in poetry as simply honed and lyrically lucid as Shaker furniture and art itself. This is the first of Peters' book-length persona poems.
"This is real poetry, alive and unpretentious." --M.L. Rosenthal, The New York Times.
