Worrisome Creatures: Poems - Paperback

by Kate Sweeney (Author)

This is a collection of the body, of the failings of history and family. The range is wide and balanced-in geography, in tenderness and trauma, in startling imagery, craft, and heart. Kate Sweeney's work takes me within and outside myself, making both realms real and seen/felt as if for the first time. In fact, much of the collection feels like entering uncharted territory-and how intriguing to explore it! Here is a master poet and, as the highest compliment, I wish I could write poems like those in Worrisome Creatures.
