Award-winning poet Debora Greger grew up in Washington near the site of the Hanford atomic plant, which, unbeknownst to its workers, manufactured plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. -The high school team was named the Bombers,- she writes. -The school ring had a mushroom cloud on it.- In Desert Fathers, Uranium Daughters she uses what The Nation has characterized as her -deadpan wit, intelligence and marvelous insight- to explore the legacy of a Catholic girlhood spent in a landscape where -even the dust, though we didn-t know it then, was radioactive.--Call us out of the animal,- Greger writes, invoking the ghost of a poet conjured in -Nights of 1995,- in what could be construed as the motto of a collection filled with what Poetry called -priceless instants where the mundane flares up into the miraculous.-
