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.
From the Back Cover
There is a wild vulnerability in the poetry of Mary Crow that allows her to be both passionate and horrified. In I Have Tasted The Apple, Crow tells of her experience traveling through South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, territories marked by political upheaval and social unrest. Crow's poems speak to the danger of a middle-aged woman traveling alone and to the dilemma of choosing flight or bearing witness. She writes in "About Women" - "He reaches out and breaks the wishbone: .../Behind him his shadow/ is growing floppy and fat, blurred/ In a minute, he will lick my hand". Crow's poetry challenges us to resist becoming anesthetized to violence and suffering, and affirms that the human spirit can overcome adversity.
