Here, in poetry, is a fresh approach to Joan of Arc, that famous heroine-for-all-seasons. Almost six hundred years after she was burned at the stake, Joan's story still compels, fascinates and challenges us. Credited with saving France, that famous warrior-maid leaps from a new poetry collection by Marcy Heidish, a gifted specialist in historical fiction (A Woman Called Moses, Destined to Dance, etc). Heidish's poetic reflections on Joan are riveting, imaginative, and beautifully crafted. Whether you know a little or a lot about Joan of Arc, this original and elegant collection will invite you to see "The Maid of Orleans" from a wealth of insightful perspectives. If you approach Joan as a role model, a puzzle, or a poem herself, you will find this book an impressive and inspiring read.
