poetry, "weather that kills & springs that heal"

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars smart, accessible, inhabited, uncompromising.......2003-09-24

This book is a startling amalgum, filled with edge and beauty. PS Jones is highly literate and aesthetic in her bent. The language is accessible; the poems inhabited; the voice uncompromising. Each balances aesthetically and morally. These poems wisely point to the idea of democracy, responsibility, and liberty--and "the weather" that everyone has to slog through toward the application of those ideals. The poems have a mature political edge. They are stylishly impelled to their moral imperative. Jones is the real deal.
