Across the Street

Across the Street is a personal and political memoir in poems showing how the poet's reflexive observations of the world around her shaped her lifelong commitments to social justice equality and peace. After her first 7 1/2 years in Ontario California Carolyn Howe lived for several years each in Guadalajara Mexico; Denver and Greeley Colorado; Eugene and Portland Oregon; and Madison and Appleton Wisconsin. She has lived in Worcester Massachusetts since 1988. Each of these places shaped her world view and political orientations.
