{ "item_title" : "Light Is the Odalisque", "item_author" : [" Lawanda Walters "], "item_description" : "This wide-ranging, beautiful, and painful book reveals LaWanda Walters as a masterful, brave, and dangerous poet. As much at home with a disciplined free verse as with traditional forms, and as comfortable with narrative as with lyric, Walters delivers (like the morning mail, like a baby) a world. The odalisque is light-meaning not heavy, meaning luminous. How odd, we discover, that a direction-like South-takes on meaning like a person's face. The poems are (or appear to be) autobiographical in the best sense. I searched myself, Heraclitus declared, and Walters's book, written in that spirit, stokes the Heraclitean fire with embers from a burning heart. -T.R.
