Praise for Skirmishes on the Okie-Irish Border Dear Reader, Please open this volume and turn to a poem called "Made Up." I can pretty much guarantee that you've never read anything quite like it, by turns hysterical and heartbreaking, like the whole book. The poems of Maureen Oehler DuRant arrive like good news, like the first earthy smells of spring in an Oklahoma meadow. Hers is a voice that delights and gratifies at every turn. -George Bilgere, author of Imperial Maureen DuRant's Skirmishes on the Okie-Irish Border is both clear-eyed and open-hearted in its explorations of childhood, family, love, and those borders that both divide and define us. Humorous, candid, tender, they demonstrate a rare insight, engaging the world with plainspoken language and a canny wisdom. DuRant's poems skirmish at the fraught edges of language, winning ground page by page "in a battle to claim turf where tongues can hold their own."
