These poems are a fascinating mix of steel and vulnerability. "Hanging Threads" brings tears to my eyes. The images of the washing machine and the mother lost, and of the poor child hanging laundry alone, will stay with me. I start reading a lot of this poetry, but rarely finish it. This, I read three times through.
