Amazon.com Review

Mary Crow defines the term "lyrical " in this collection. Her voice is like an instrumental when song is warranted; a hammer, when power's prescribed. For example, the poem "About Women " contains both elements, both voices: the poet's as lyric, the antagonist's as harsh and discordant. Crow's poems take the danger and dance in everyday events and lifts them into her own pure song. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
