Without sentimentality, in clear and precise language, Laskin traces and pierces the desire and disappointment of being a daughter, of becoming a mother. These poems offer surprising jolts when experience does not meet expectation, when pessimism hovers over hope or curves into cynicism. A world emerges in which a new mother creeps close to the edge during a sleepless night as her \"son continues to cry,\" and she speaks to Joel Stienberg, admitting \"I could have been you.\"\u003cbr\u003e Linda Susan Jackson, author of What Yellow Sounds Like \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As these poems turn phrase they take unexpected turns on our imaginations, each notion we hold made and then unmade in an instant.
