Synopsis

Diane Raptosh's poems balance reticence against revelation to create a poetry that is urgent, fresh, and beautiful. On the deepest level, these poems are concerned with our failures of communication, the limitations and possibilities of speech, the search for a literal and figurative home, the entanglements of love given and received. Whether she writes of stuttering or of an ill-fitting gift, her work glows with intelligence, wit, and emotion. The book's lively dramatic monologues are sure to provoke sighs of recognition, as well as some thoughtful amusement.
