Summary:
A collection of poems on the ability of the human spirit to soar in adverse conditions. In Fleur, a woman says, "Yes, there were lupines in the camp, / and our joy in them was real, / as real as our misery. / We would find some little corner of the barracks to put them on display; / we would pick and scoop them into our arms, after a day of forced labor.".
