""This poetry collection is a mine for literary geocachers. Nearly every poem echoes or foreshadows a series of concrete images that elicit as much emotion from readers as the named emotions themselves. Dolls, stuffed animals, grocery stores, ring boxes, birds, cats, fires, fossils, tombs, callouses, and scratches on cars help us to live vicariously through Felicia's experiences. Add to these images the literal graphics on the pages (A pyramid comprised of the letter ""A""; blueprints; and crows that flap into view) and the collection is as vivid as film. Perhaps the most brilliant of all the poems are ""Foreshadowing"" (which appears early) and ""Ouroboros"" (which appears late), both of which I've pulled from the collection to keep on my desk. Although ""Foreshadowing"" is gruesome, the final line -- ""Of course, it could never happen to us"" -- still hits me, as the poem says with scalpels, ""revealing lungs between ribs."" This is not just a collection of poetry for women on healing journeys. It's also a collection for readers who relish image, language, and metaphor.
