p>Passionate and sensuous to the limit of synesthesia, these poems address both the mind and body of the reader. A verbal magician, a show-stopping performer, the author educates, stimulates, and moves us through her realization and empowerment of images. Her love of family, familiarity with death, sexualization of everyday life, politics of liberation--these themes are transformed before our eyes into kindling and fed to a flame of such intensity as is rarely to be found in contemporary poetry.
