Synopsis
Book by Simon, Maurya

From Library Journal
Simon's poems are sometimes public, addressing Rimbaud, the Sibyl, and even the Messiah. More often she stays in the realm of the personal, documenting the "open wound" with stunning imagery as she offers up lamentations for missing wives or parents or Indian deities: "I've inherited from my mother/ a curious need for Sabbath candles/ though they go unlit." In one of the more satisfying poems Simon translates numbers into a bestiary; 10 is "the one who married one." Many of these poems are conversations the poet is having with herself, and one occasionally longs for greater music, for insight into what is beyond such sentiments as "Sometime we find that/ while we're gone our children/ fall into decline." These poems highlight the poet's sensitivity, but the reader may wish they had more life of their own. Rosaly DeMaios Roffman, English Dept., Indiana Univ. of Pennsylvania
