5.0 out of 5 stars poetry as I wish it were more often..., January 2, 2001
This review is from: The Devil's Tour (Paperback)
The poems in 'The Devils' Tour' are gorgeous - straightforward, but far from simpleminded. I am generally quite wary of poetry... there is so much potential for either intellectual elitism or, conversely, oversentimental silliness. Not so here. The first poem ('Coleman') - a recollection of a young interracial friendship or romance and its consequences - is especially beautiful, and also very sad. A book of poetry definitely worth owning.

4.0 out of 5 stars number 2, May 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Devil's Tour (Paperback)
I am not finished this one yet. The poems are often longer than her other stuff, but I read them. I don't read much poetry, but I read hers for the biographical info. The is what looks like a love poem to her husband.
