#4 in the California Poetry Series from Roundhouse Press, Berkeley, CA. A rich and varied body of work from an accomplished poet, through which runs the dark thread of incest, a leavening humor, and the deep solace of the natural world. Delineated with sharp visual detail and emotional complexity, this book breaks new ground. It is sure to be noticed, talked about, and remembered.
"Molly Fisk brings to her readers a poetry of great emotional power,
linguistic invention, and courage. She looks long and hard at the world,
and speaks to what she sees with both clarity and depth."
"Molly Fisk has a calm, lucid, detached and lyric voice in which to recount
childhood love and abuse, as well as passionate erotic encounters. These
subjects will guarantee her a general audience, but the pure lyric voice is
what will endear her to lovers of poetry. That voice will last a lifetime,
long after the sensational aspects of her work have subsided."
"Molly Fisk's poems are forthright, painful, and loving. Hers is an
unflinching vision, but steadfastly poetic. And this collection is a
page-turner, one that combines the seizure of reality with joy and
introspection. In her own words, 'the sturdy heart blesses its own
reflection.'"

"This chorale book, with its three substantive and distinctive voices, is
rich proof of the strength and variety of current poetry, and of
poetry-born friendship as well. Drawn from widely differing lives which
nonetheless come together in a web of shared concerns, these poems range
from the elegiac to the unnerving to the celebratory. Page after page
offers the thrilling lift of revelation-imaginative, sensuous and precise
encounters with the real terrain of the human. This is a truly fine
collection." Salt Water Poems by Molly Fisk
