Description
Book SynopsisA collection of poems that traverses and choreographs the places of passion where visible and invisible touch. It enlists many voices, questions, and bodies (mostly in Taos and Florence) that press toward Emersonian nature.
Trade Review"The second collection of poems-risky and rife with grammatical intensity and simultaneously grounded in the experience of being a woman in the world-marked by a beauty of language and emotion." Publishers Weekly
