I picked up the Yoga Poems after reading the author's collection of short stories, Green Tea To Go. This is poetry at its absolute best. I know very little about yoga poses and breathing exercises. But this is a collection about the language of emotion, the difficult postures of passion, this is for anyone who's struggled with loss, or as the author puts it in her introduction, feels like an "expatriate in my own skin." I loved the poetry about healing, a search for serenity in the jolting insanity of every-day life. And some of the lines are so frank and funny, I couldn't stop laughing. For example, the first line in, "Knee to Ear," is, "I was almost married to dispassion." It suddenly reminded me of this girl back when and then this and that and as I went on, it was a very sad poem reflecting on the poet's past. On the reverse side, there's a sensuality that reminds one of the bodily calligraphy that yoga forms with every pose.
"There are two perfect
shapes in the world
a man once said:
... and he
might have added a third:
a woman's body."
I appreciated the honesty of, "Lord of the Fish." "There is one pose I cannot do," it starts. I've tried yoga several times and there's a thousand poses I can't do, haha. I highly recommend this book for any fan of poetry independent of your knowledge of yoga. If you love language, these are literally, "Lines to unfold by."
