5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant!
I first stumbled upon "Baptism of Desire" 8 years ago when I was pregnant with our first son. The work inspired me and I still refer to it often. Erdrich has a poignant and sensitive use of language. Although repitious in focus or theme each work peers from a unique corner of Erdrich's mind and is successful because it questions without diadatic overtones...

confusion
If you decide to read this book, get ready to be reading the same poem over and over again. It is hard to understand at first, which is why my first impression of it was bad, but once you understand it, it's a pretty decent book of poems. The only odd part about it is it's random story in the middle. So I say,if you like Erdrich, you'll like the book.
