Summary

In Susan Azar Porterfield's Voice/Poems, readers will encounter various voices, not all of them sanguine. Some are testy, others reverential. Some are humorous, others not so much. The reader can expect a guide, but the guides may not bother to be consistent. Graceful and intimate, Voice/Poems plucks individual moments from the flow of time to show us how crazy remarkable our ordinary, day-in and day-out, lives are. We are a multitude and a solitude, "a glory, tiny veins in our fingers, /pulley of skin working index and thumb."
