Eve by Betsy Orient Bernfeld

Grounded in the landscapes of the American West, Betsy Bernfeld’s voice is refreshingly direct—vivid, unsparing, and emotionally gripping. “Eve” is an impressive collection.

–Lynne Bama, author of Yellowstone Rising

Bernfeld’s collection celebrates womanhood and women’s relationships with each other and the natural world. She paints an unflinching portrait of what it means to live inside the body feminine. Filled with beauty, longing, and an honoring of women’s strengths and vulnerabilities, these poems say an unqualified yes to nature, biology, and fate, unapologetically insistent and feminine in a masculinized world.

–Lori A. Howe, author of Cloudshade: Poems of the High Plains and Voices at Twilight: A Poet’s Guide to Wyoming Ghost Towns.

Betsy Orient Bernfeld’s book feeds my dreams . . . .

–Marjane Ambler, author of Yellowstone Has Teeth.
