Book Description
Was Lady Jenna Hollingsworth’s new husband the same man who had killed her father? After one night of passion, she begins to wonder. The jarring aroma of leather, tobacco and recently drunk wine drift toward her on the breeze—she remembers it so well, as well as the tall, muscular shape beneath the multi-caped greatcoat and those eyes of blue fire through the holes in his mask. Oh yes, she remembers that man with whom she shares a secret past. He is the highwayman known as the Marsh Hawk.

'I am more than the smell / of fear grasping my collar, ' Lorna Dee Cervantes tells us in one of the powerful poems in this new collection. Indeed, she is. But Cervantes' brilliance here is her ability to speak the fear as well as the resistance to that fear. These are magnificent poems. I read (the) book in the dark of the night. The poems glowed like stars.--Margaret Randall ...a keenly observed, politically charged, uncompromising tour of the poet's mind and our world. This book might be the instruction manual we all need.--Camille Dungy, Orion Magazine Poetry.
