Reviews

The voice of women, infinitesimal in a male-dominated world, speak directly, from the woman that crawls inside an empty shell demanding to Tell me about your emptiness/Tell me about the moonrise, to the poignant acceptance of the death of a dear friend, adrift/ your life roared out rapid as a river, whose death and the memory lingers viscerally in the lines I pour your ashes over the side of the boat/a gust of wind brings you back. This is a book to be mulled with the promise it won't eat you/alive only the past can/do that just look for some of us survived.--Jose Faus
