Elhagy

In sixty-six poems the poet both recalls her earlier work and finds a new voice, new themes and new forms. Her main concern is the body, its beauty and its decay, and the anatomy of human feelings, passions and relationships, of love and even of faith's painful dependence on the body. Absorbed in pregnancy, in watching her child and in the beauty of a man's body, her eye no longer records everything coolly but gives room to joy and pain, freezing an image for a moment and letting it go again.
