By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Stands Guard, One Sleeps (Paperback)
Some people just seem to be born for the craft of poetry. Judging by the quality of her verse, Nancy Scott is clearly one of those gifted with a lyrical mind's eye. "One Stands Guard, One Sleeps" is an impressive compendium of free verse that draws as its source material the poet's family members, social service clients, businessmen, and herself. 'Lyla, 1992': I stop to have a cup of tea with Lyla./Nearly eighty, she counsels parents of suicides,/shows me a photo of a pony-tailed teen.//My daughter slashed her wrists, she says./She says her husband, now deceased,/used to cater fancy meals for Broadway stars.//OJ was there once, she says, grinning./He was something. He could park his shoes/under my bed anytime.
