Poetry. "THE SECRET OF WHITE is a marvel of language, written with acute patience and precision. Each line and image is crafted with the care of embroidery, the pen and paper giving way to the needle and thread: 'if I read what I have written I will loosen the stitches.' Loosening these stitches reveals a world rich with color and a beauty embedded in the everyday 'plums/ cracked open, red threads spun/ into grey'"--Truong Tran. Barbara Tomash's previous book of poetry FLYING IN WATER (also available from SPD) won the 2006 Winnow First Prize and has been reissued by Spuyten Duyvil Press.

beautiful intelligent poetry,
By
This review is from: The Secret of White (Paperback)
I love the language in this book and the passion for looking at the world with a loving eye--which means perceiving reality in depth. These poems wake you up to color and sound and the human position in time and in everyday household worlds. So beautiful so intelligent.
