Sinopsi

What marvelous poems these are, and how complete a collection. Like a circus aerialist who makes us gasp one moment and laugh the next, the poet takes us from her immigrant father&rsquo,s Macedonian roots to her own maturity, to the life of a woman who is smart and well-read yet knows her way around a Coney Island hot dog and finds the attentions of a drunk cowboy oddly flattering. There are so many good poems here that it&rsquo,s hard to pick a favorite, but I&rsquo,ll put my money on &ldquo,Confessions of an Ugly Nightgown,&rdquo, in which a dead woman&rsquo,s shapeless article of intimate apparel says it can still rouse a sleeping husband and is loveliest as it lies on the floor.&mdash,David Kirby, Get Up, Please
