Here, the gifted poet Yvonne Zipter exhibits an astonishing vocabulary, offering insights that perhaps we never realized we'd missed. One stunning example: in an elegiac poem for her beloved dog, she recalls the \"sweet slenderness of that languorous \/ lick of calcium, like an ivory flute.\" Another: an ekphrastic take on discarded pencils, noting \"how quick they are to deny their own musings\"-a notion which suggests that virtually all writers and readers of poetry will savor this book.\u003c\/p\u003e-Marilyn L.
