Hoofbeats on the Door: Poems - Softcover
From Library Journal:
"From the Bellringer's Wife's Journal," a typical selection in this fine collection, resonates with clarity and feeling, as when it describes a woman who, after gutting a golden carp, hands out recipes to a friend to cure a scorpion sting and a broken heart. There are wonderful images here, as in "Lamentation for Sunday," where that stalled day, "nettled, and grey," swings from a hangman's noose. This volume was runner-up for the Marianne Moore Poetry Prize, and the reason is obvious: besides evidence of erudition, there is a generosity of spirit. Where poems like "Wild Ducks on the River" charm with a simple lyricism, the monolog in "The Instruction of Clotilde" ambitiously takes as its subject a book of morals and homemaking written by a 14th-century bourgeois Parisian for his wife. These poems should have something to say to every reader of contemporary poetry.
