I remember Ms. Walle from several years ago when we’d meet at workshops in the Puget Sound area. I was delighted to see this book, and even more delighted to read it. I remember her as having a great sense of humor, and able to turn most any story into something humorous. My memory was correct.
This book of short poems (almost as short as she) gives us a fascinating look at the different faces of love, and even sex of the era. Ms. Walle tells of requited love, unrequited love, painful love, and ecstatic love, married love and not married love. There is pathos, humor, and some pain in this book.
Her penultimate poem, “The Silence of Death” may bring a tear or two, her final poem, “Dying Wish” is the perfect ending for this book, an ending with a laugh—“Then, watch billbords / for my answer.”
Long live Connie Walle on our planet and in our hearts.
