The Narrow Way of Souls

Poems encoded in a rare triple helix of talent, passion, and delicate attention to detail. Much has been made by critics of her word-craft: its earthy rhythms, its careful cadences, the evocative lyricality with which she explores the ancient and undying themes of love, family, domesticity, nature, death, and myth. Yet her poetic compass frequently leads her beyond this well-trod ground, toward situations uncannily familiar or curiously surreal.-Paul Casey
