Features poems which suggest that we discover what we love by fighting, by bringing our angry, hungry, imperfect selves into the battle.

Trade Review
"The textures of Invisible Tender - the edgy shimmer of quartz, the cool vulnerability of silk - are exhilarating. Clarvoe's canny perspectives, glistening details, and unnerving surprises are a constant delight. Her book places her at once in the starry company of poets like Elizabeth Bishop and May Swenson. I am moved and thrilled to know, here is the real thing, a poet." (J. D. McClatchy)"
