If you make a list of all the superlatives you can think of, you will still run short to define this book. It is beautiful, it is terrifying. This book is lullaby soft and hard as granite. Do you cry or get angry? Perhaps both. And maybe even laugh. Depends, I suppose on how often you read the poem, the book, on what you bring to the table in this free-for-all called life.
As one cannot step into the river in the same place twice, one will not read these poems in the same voice twice.
From writing about losing her baby blanket, to writing her Self-Portrait with Amy (Creation Myth) and all those poems in between and on either side, the reader in in for a treat. The more often read, the bigger and better the treat!
