Summary: Behind the Curtains
Review: This book, Woloch's third, is full of tenderness, spirit, and sensuality. For all the deep losses, humiliations, and conflicted desires and impulses, it is a book of mature modern-day love poems, love of family and place, friends and lovers, with a knowing eye on the price of such loving, paying the price, and moving on, loving again. These are poems about living bravely, resisting bitterness, accepting that happiness is forever endangered, an understanding reinforced through reoccurring images of the ephemeral, birds and ashes. Woloch's lyrical, emotive voice resonates naturally through a range of poetic forms and is above all generously humane.
