Poetry. Organized in reverse chronological order, the oldest of these beautifully-controlled poems goes back to 1930--a genuine selection from a life's work. "Intimate, immediate, candid, Edith Jenkins' poems never fail to amaze with their precision and passion. In this collection that draws from the years of a full and ardently engaged life, she mines the deep seams of love and memory and extracts pure gold"--Nancy J. Peters, Editor of City Lights Books. "Jenkins refuses to oversimplify; instead, as in Donne, 'Contraries meet in her work.'"--Frances Mayes.
