Description Flame, a collection of persona poems in the voice of Mary, mother of Jesus (inthe Christian tradition) and Isa (in the Islamic tradition), is equal parts bodyand spirit, experience and myth.
The poems are imaginative, as hope and faith areimaginative: we need to be able to envision a better day even if we cannot see ityet.
What thrills me is the restraint, and how each poem quietly--butfully--delivers.
Flame is feminist, timely, and timeless.
