| Summary |
"Laura Lee Washburn turns a poet's eye on politics and culture in this collection of poetry. Pay attention to the images found in these stories as they are meant to inform us and give voice to those we seldom hear. Laura Lee Washburn's poetry presses light against dark and bravely traverses the landscapes of environment, politics, and culture. With a keen and observant eye, Washburn writes poems whose layers delve into the self and the ordinary-'Morning breaks me into pieces / and every organ speaks its subtle resistance'-to reveal and connect with the global. Through her poetic lens, we are reminded of how fallible we humans are. I can't help but feel that Washburn is trying to warn us, inform us-'our end . . . may come so terribly to resemble entrance'-yet also take our hands and help us cross the way." -Shuly Xochitl Cawood, author of Trouble Can Be So Beautiful at the Beginning, winner of the Adrienne Bond Award for Poetry"-- Provided by publisher. |
