Summary of this Book...
This is another prize-winning poetry collection. Specifically, it won the 1997 Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize. It is also the poetess' debut.
This type of Book is good for...
I would say that people who are interested in free verse with a gentle female touch might enjoy this collection.
I especially liked...
I purchased this collection on a whim. It was just sitting there on the shelf, and I thumbed through it and saw some interesting pieces with strong word choice. I bought it. I read it. It has been sitting on my shelf ever since. It is a fine collection, but it didn't really speak to me. There was the occasional bit of edginess, but overall, it was a bit more soft and pretty than the work that usually sparks my imagination. A favorite snippet:

Pierced tongue. Do-it-yourself lisp.
What is this? Penitence? Native wisdom?
Mutilation? or signal: I'll do anything.
