Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this her second book of poems, Patience Wheatley reflects upon her experience with the Canadian Women's Army Corps -- exploring her own coming-of-age and offering an historical testament to to the Canadian women who joined the Corps in World War II. The discipline of army drill 'recalling crunching patterns / made by our feet on parade ground gravel / to sharp words of command' becomes in memory a time 'when once we did it together and perfectly' -- an image of fulfillment both spiritual and sexual.
