Chelsea Creek

Meer over het boek

''The poems in Chelsea Creek are noteworthy for their beautifully controlled but deeply felt elegiac tone, for the insights they offer into the various kinds of brutality lived in and lived through its pages. Most significantly, they offer hope--a hope based not in sentimentality, but in the recognition that moments of tenderness, transcendence, and love can be gleaned even from the most hostile territory. It is in the recognition of those moments, and their rendering into precise language, that the bruised heart, mind, and soul can be fed, and even healed. This is a healing book.'' --Rose Solari, Contest Judge, author of The Last Girl and A Secret Woman
