5.0 out of 5 stars
Swenson's poems are mesmerizing., August 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Landlady in Bangkok (National Poetry Series) (Paperback)
I am still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a glass tower in Camboda, filled with skulls "facing" outward in four directions, overlooking a picnic ground. Swenson takes us places we had not perhaps originally considered traveling as women alone, and we are richer for it.

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a glass tower in Cambodia filled with skulls overlooking a picnic ground. The poems consist of other such exquisite oxymorons. As a woman, I would hesitate to visit the countries about which Swenson writes; I am enriched by her travels.
