5.0 out of 5 stars her best book
Elegant and colloquial at once, wounded, passonate and alive, this book's an elegy of the first rank -- as well as a meditation on marriage, the acting life, and the difficulty of really knowing anyone. Formally acute, tonally various, this is one of the year's strongest books of poems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly OK. but...


With all the great poetry missing from Kindle - especially from the late 20th century (from Louise Gluck to Derek Walcott to Marianne Moore and Richard Hugo and Robert Hass) there is no way to put this good but not stellar book in context. Kindle will hopefully expand their poetry offerings in future.
