(PRWEB) February 23, 2004 --In her new book, Bloodsongs- Poetry for Those Who Know of Being Woman (Sun Rising Poetry Press, Mar 2004), poet Anastasia Clark of Miramar, FL, immediately bonds with women readers by introducing her collection, about the blood we share and the blood we lose along the way." With themes ranging from discovering make-up at thirteen to the challenges of middle age, Clark captures the grit of womanhood with her snapshot style poetry.

Clark fans will find many of their favorites here, such as My Lucky Dress," which begins, Okay- I confess/In the back of the closet/A little black temptress/I know he cant resist." In Naked on Valentines Day," Clark wryly contemplates the bittersweet day with, Another damn love song/The radio shouts/What is this holiday?/Whats it about?"

The Bloodsongs book cover itself is a striking, unforgettable testament to womanhood. Designed by award-winning book cover artist Donette Smock, it features a headshot of a woman in bright red colors tinged with blacks and grays. The clever design simultaneously captures both the despair and the joys of being a woman.

This is Clarks second book to be published by The Sun Rising Poetry Press in 2004. Also included in the lineup are Grieving With Poetry-A Journey to the Soul and Skeletons and Other Complaints.
