This week, Wild Violet goes global, with three writers providing international perspectives.
“Village Women,” a poem by Slobodanka Strauss, depicts the life of rural women in the Ukraine.
“Bridge Crossing,” an essay by Louise B. Bennett, tells the story of a 1970s good-will trip to China that changed the author’s life.
“Smoke Invasion,” a poem by Agholor Leonard Obiaderi, vividly portrays the problem of pollution in Africa.
