partypete's review against another edition

while poetry with religious themes is decidedly unchic in 2020, this collection of poems (written in a kind of old fashioned style) is still quite excellent. “Turbulence” “Black Mountain Boston” “Philophany” and her poems dated as years stood out for me. Rain is an important symbol for her, holding images and blending into each other on windshields as those images become depersonalized.
I’m reading her book of essays The Wedding Dress, which has helped inform me of her worldview, beliefs, and ideas. I think I wouldn’t have appreciated this collection as much if I were not reading that at the same time.
