- Summary:
- This is the first book-length collection of poems by a woman whose artistry and poetic vision are already mature. The author has this to say about her poetry:“I care so much about place and about the creatures, buildings, and plants which are in the places I know that these may seem my chief subjects. But though I think they are the sources of the poems, human experience as it is discovered in places is my subject.”
