Description
"Jackson's clear note restores my hope that speak directly - and meaningfully - from the heart. The poet emerges triumphant, as from her night swim, 'illuminate, sexy as hell, inspired." The Georgia Review --The Georgia Review "When domestic poetry reveals the profound and the esoteric, it does so in a circuitous way; but when it does it is moving and, sometimes, terrifying. Fleda Brown Jackson is face to face, in these domestic poems, with the wilderness, whether she is swimming with an old aunt or waltzing at the Pappy Burnett Pavilion or remembering her father taking her retarded brother sailing. A culture is revealed here; and a brave vision." --Gerald Stern
