Creative, accessible, honest, Laura Kasischke transforms cupboards in a kitchen or a routine geyser spray at Yellowstone into colorful, poetic language. Her words breathe with a living honesty as if she were speaking across the table to you. Some of her poems carry dark themes, referring to death or childhood hurt, and some of beautiful memories. When reading a collection like this, I usually try to determine for myself the strongest poem, but in this case there are too many. Each one is my favorite.

Some amazing turns of language and a few images that absolutely caught my breath.
