The River at Wolf by Jean Valentine

The River at Wolf by Jean Valentine

Jean Valentine has written a visionary book. If it is built with the brick and wood of this world, the light that pours through its windows is searing, healing.--Marie Howe

She has taught at Sarah Lawrence College, the Graduate Writing Program at NYU, and the 92nd Street Y, and is the author of seven previous books of poetry, most notably Growing Darkness, Growing Light (1997) and The River at Wolf (1992).
