Twenty-four years and 35 books ago, Wakoski began the process of self-revelation that persists in this volume. Though she writes of birds and trees and the change of seasons in Michigan, the true subject remains the complaining, self-deprecating poet who offers insight not into the inhabitants of her world but into the fear and irritation their obesity, homosexuality, senility, and failure produce in her. But the persona belabors points, asks rhetorical questions, and frequently leaves the reader agreeing with the voice that claims to be "wallowing again in the obvious," the servant of "my own frail vegetable personality." For large collections. Leonard Kniffel, Detroit
