| Summary |
"Tell Me examines the tangled ties that bind us to those we love - parents, siblings, children, friends, lovers or ex-lovers - in rhythm-driven verse, traditional forms and prose poems. The themes of love, loss and loneliness and the inevitability of the body's decay propel this collection."--Jacket. |
