September 2010: Powder


Welcome!
to start off after summer travels, we are reading:

Powder: Writing by Women in the Ranks, from Vietnam to Iraq
Personal poems and essays by women who served in the U.S. military from Vietnam to Desert Shield.

You can get it at a variety of online stores.
The book was turned into a one-woman play, called "Coming in Hot", adapted by Jeanmarie Simpson and Shannon Cain.

If you want to check out the topic before you buy the book, you can read the preface, check out an NPR Weekend Edition interview with the editor, or read this introduction to the book, on the publishers blog.
