Roots in the Air, New & Selected Poems --by Shirley Kaufmans

 Nonfiction / Poetry

225 pages

5 stars

 

These are not poems to devour as fast as possible. These are poems to savor, ponder, meditate over. Poems that will remain with you, if not the actual words, the emotions they evoked.

 

Many of Ms. Kaufman’s poems bring for not just images, but also smells—from salt water to burning feathers.

 

Roots in the Air was my introduction to Ms. Kaufman, and I am sorry she is no longer with us. What has been published is it. I will look for her other books, and the hours of enjoyment they shall surely bring me.
