520    "These poems explore the haunted legacy of the Virginia 
       State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded, an medical 
       institution at the heart of the eugenics movement in the 
       first half of the twentieth century in America. The author,
       who has cerebral palsy, grew up in the shadow of the 
       former Colony in southwestern Virginia, aware that, had 
       she been born fifty years earlier, she would quite 
       possibly been admitted there, and exposed to a variety of 
       inhumane treatments, including forced sterilization. Her 
       poems give voice to the Colony's chorus of residents, 
       reclaiming for them elements of their humanity" --
