Recent Praise for Ricochet Script (2022):
This poet is a lithe acrobat of image; Her ricocheting thoughts are tightly woven by her stunning images: take any poem at random in this book, for example "...watch the bright/balled-up leaves in the boiled water unfurl and float,/like mini Esther Williams doing the backstroke." or, "...let's not forget the invisible;/the mosquito the size of a torn//eyelash..."
Here is a poet whose poems think, yet the movement is concrete, specific, tuned with details. The poems decry and bless the human condition -- and her use of irony, pathos to describe the inner and outer worlds, her close investigation of mortality, brings us a book to savor, to slowly read each poem, our expectations raised, to the excitement and beauty of what is next.
