In \u003cem\u003eI Have Tasted The Apple\u003c\/em\u003e, Crow tells of her experiences traveling through South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, territories marked by political upheaval and social unrest. Moreover, Crow's poems speak to the danger of a middle-aged woman traveling alone and to the dilemma of choosing flight or bearing witness. She challenges us to resist becoming anesthetized to the violence and suffering of people in other countries, and affirms that the human spirit can overcome adversity.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFault Finding \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Even now the ground is slowly shifting\u003cbr\u003e beneath your feet.
