Synopses & Reviews
Poetry. How do we forgive? How do we evolve? What makes us human? TURN wrestles with our ideas of race, gender, abuse, love, sex, motherhood, and death. Sensual and philosophical, personal and universal, these poems rejoice in the contradictions of living.
Review
"These deeply moving poems locate the mythic in the personal and the personal in the mythic."
- Eduardo C. Corral, author of Slow Lightning
Review
"Once within the universe of these splendidly phrased and crafted poems, one recognizes that the force that gives a driving momentum to this collection is of one a unified and earthly eros."
- Garrett Hongo, author of Coral Road
Review
"If truth is beauty, this book shows the glory of the human landscape at its most frightening and radiant."
- Nancy White, author of Detour
