Poetry. "[H]here is a poet who can turn meaning adroitly with precise syntax. This is an accomplishment beyond mere neatness. Throughout HOARD the commonplace event evokes other worlds and what was lost all those years ago. The truth of it is glimpsed in momentary perceptions to which the poetry rises."--Kelvin Corcoran "Hers is a fearless poetry that faces the world, takes it in, and reveals its hoard of knowledge--complexly, lovingly, and fiercely."--Maxine Chernoff
