by Beth Ann Fennelly '93 (W.W. Norton & Company)
Words may at
times be insufficient, but the author finds language that works in this collection of short
narratives and three longer sequences. From the kudzu that "breeds its own welcome mat" to the
French impressionist painter Berthe Morisot, who "swallowed brilliance," the bold
unmentionables become the award-winning poet's wordplay.
Fennelly's books also include Tender Hooks: Poems; Great With Child: Letters to a Young Mother and Open House: Poems.
