Summary:
These gemlike poems, deceptively complex, are revelations of the domestic and natural worlds: chiseled, unflinching, set beside a "painted paper lake/of gilded folds laid straight,/the gowned hills/on hidden feet/late coming light." Leslie Shinn's debut conveys a life deeply felt and keenly observed. Book jacket.
