Publisher's Synopsis
"Against forgetting grew out of research and interviews done for a project about the war brides of World War II. The characters in these poems speak of personal experiences while revealing themes of universal significance: the moral ambiguity of separating children from parents; the difficulties faced by immigrants; the importance of small acts of humanity in the midst of devastation; and the often unseen importance of women's lives, including the near invisibility of war brides."--from. cover.
