Poetry. Imagistic language and unique imagination shape this stunning book. These musical, detailed poems capture the intricacies of Keyes' worlds: her family, childhood, Boston, Key West and even Greece. "'If the mind insists on imagining its origins, then it comes/to this wintry beach...' Claire Keyes writes, and then richly imagines other worlds, this poet of woods and street, ravens and childhood, Boston and Key West and Greece, graveyards and myth, love and pain, cricket and eagle and thrush. The insight and range of these poems inspire and darken and almost soothe. That almost means a beauty that burns"--Marianne Boruch.
