Book Synopsis
“Beasley uses humor and surprise like a scythe, cutting to the root of a matter.”—Washington Post

Trade Review
"Beasley tackles our moral progress, with its wounds of love, authoritatively and emphatically." -- Washington Independent Review of Books
"Sandra Beasley is a master poet of facts, story, feeling, and the slipknot statement that binds them together. Inventive, ingeniously fitted, musical, precise, unfettered, her poems etch and mirror the clarities and strangeness of our human lives. This irresistibly visionary book resembles to no small degree a cabinet of wonders. To every phenomenon and circumstance of the heart, its poems open, saying, Yes, this too I know; this too we are. Then add, Now, let us see further." -- Jane Hirshfield, author of Come, Thief
"Her lightness works best when it dapples her darkness—and when her darkness, as it often does, feels truly deep." -- Poetry
