Basically, the book is divided into two distinct sections. The first is a compilation of personal, daily lifestyle poems mixed with the more abstract poems that she so successfully wrote in her later collection, Song of Lisbon. These earlier poems feel more formative than the later ones, but still show the sensitive and painterly eye, an astute sense of form that blends words and image in often startling, unique ways. The second section, “Forgetting the Face of Leaves,” is a love song for her beloved husband George. Anyone who appreciates sincere, heartfelt writing for a spouse could not help but relate to these poems.
