Reviews

In this, her first full-length collection, Rosemary Winslow weaves a web of both darkness and light, terror and joy, violence and loss, trauma and redemption, using filaments that are delicate, yet have enormous tensile strength. She writes about growing up in a painfully difficult family, giving us lessons on how to love the unlovable in poem after poem that express "the terrible complexity of love." (Baron Wormser) Lyric and meditative, these poems bear witness to an almost unbearable family history, in a small quiet voice that never preaches, but speaks of love and forgiveness of that which is truly unforgivable.[7]

gollark: Well, CCEmuX can.
gollark: I had to remove the feature where potatOS read your real computer's OS and CPU info because CraftOS-PC made it *prompt the user* to get access to do that! Crazy, right?
gollark: (line 516)
gollark: I should really have put it into the secret magic blob.
gollark: It's mostly quite messy, yes, but it's not (except for two subsystems) deliberately obfuscated.
