Poetry, "If you, like the speaker in Laura McCullough's poem, 'Almost Nothing Something [stars / plates / cells]' have grown 'tired & suspicious of poetry' WOMEN AND OTHER HOSTAGES will absolutely revitalize you. These are riveting, wholly moving narratives of a life lived. Out of sorrow McCullough invokes a stunning grace where 'What is stripped from you' becomes a gift because 'what's left behind is all your own.' Women of all circumstances inhabit these poems. They shed their skin like snakes, 'memory in flesh,' and consider the bones of what holds us together in these divisive times. This beautiful book will knock loose what is lodged in your heart."--Suzanne Frischkorn
