Overview

These intense and intelligent poems resist oblivion and void in an infinite process of fulfillment of potentiality. Beginning with death, they evolve into the immortality of transformation. A dead star becomes marsh, a disintegrated sun sings in the rubbings and gratings of the red-legged locust. The mind, ancestor of the sky, contemplates "the nature of itself/ In the motion of stars"; "the mind /Has been obligated from the beginning/ To create an ordered universe/ AS the only possible proof/ OF its own inheritance." Uniting and separating, splitting and binding."

Her poetry is metaphysical and physical, intellectual and sensuous, it has a controlled passion that joins body and spirit - "the soul believes of itself." It finds energy and healing in the dream of life.
