A lively and evocative collection of poems by four Mendocino women with strong and varied poetic voices. Written during a difficult year that included chemotherapy and the death of a parent, these provocative poems are a well-crafted mix of deceptively simple lyrics and complex, formal verse. 
The authors explain that a calabash is a gourd, especially one used as a rattle or drum. "We hope our calabash poems shake and rattle, resonating with life and dreams."
