From Library Journal:
Griffin, whose prose examines contemporary culture, uses poetry to probe such issues as womanhoodwoman as mother, as daughter, as sister, and even, in one poem, as man; the politics of humankind; death; love; and metamorphosis. Griffin's voice is gentle but persistent, spare but compassionate. Spanning a decade, this collection demonstrates her growth as a poet. The earlier poems are occasionally cumbersome, dramatic, and needlessly difficult syntactically. The later poems, especially "I Wake Myself Thinking as a Man," "Nature," and "Torture," explore life beyond the limitations of self and individual experience in rhythm that is more natural, resonant. For larger collections. Taryn Schaeneman, English Dept., Kingsborough Community Coll., Brooklyn, N.Y.
