Author Margaret Randall says of Sugar String: “Between the waves of coercive chill cast by this country’s successive McCarthyisms upon American expression, it has been unfashionable to write and unusual to read poetry that speaks from the working class experience. Sue Doro’s unique voice speaks loud and clear: from her thirteen-year experience as a machinist, from her childhood of painfully survived abuse, from her condition as a woman and a feminist, and from a self-awareness that can send a shudder of recognition through her readers.”
