📕 “Tender but tough.” That’s how one poet characterized
Linda M. Lewis’s poems of love and spite, loss and triumph.
Linda gratefully accepts the appraisal. A professor emerita
of Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, she has been
an activist, critic, educator, editor, wife, mother, and
grandparent. She is the author of numerous critical essays
and four books: The Promethean Politics of Milton, Blake,
and Shelley; Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Spiritual Progress;
Germaine de Staël, George Sand, and the Victorian Woman
Artist; and Dickens, His Parables, and His Reader. This is
her first volume of verse.
