The poems in The Country Between Us
are unique in presenting both the courage
required to struggle for liberty, in this instance in El Salvador, and the attempt to become an individual worthy of the privilege of freedom denied to so many.

Although Ms. Graham has written and won awards for several collections of poems subsegquent to Erosion, none I believe equal these poems for their emotional vibranacy and lyricism. I would be surprised if someone were not thrilled to have read this book.
