Review # 1 was written on 2007-07-04 00:00:00 Kevin Gaudreault I am really not a poetry person, so that this got four stars should really say something! These are quiet poems about relatively mundane things - a Holiday Inn, for example, or the marriage bed; some are about semi-famous people (Mary Todd Lincoln). My favorite is "How to Read This Story to Your Children", which encapsulates what I think of when I read aloud. It's a keeper, and perhaps even a book to be re-read sometime soon.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-20 00:00:00 David Scott Gorgeous, plain-spoken, rich, illuminating. Like a field of uranium and diamonds. I've read this 5 or 6 times. I could read it every day and never tire of her writing. I checked this out from the library and paid $10 in fines because I couldn't bear to part with it. Her details are as exacting as a Coco Chanel button and are as familiar and lovely as an heirloom apple.
