Carolina Ghost Woods by Judy Jordan, 1999 Whitman Award Winner. Rural elegies, a time capsule, a luxury of sounds piling up in long lines for a slow procession of sound and image. Folk wisdom, herbology, a catalogue of biology and dissapearance. from "Sandbar at Moore's Creek" "the delft-blue mussel shells, fingertip tiny, most beautiful when strewn with loss." My favorite poem: "Walking the Geese Home." Accessable, luscious, sincere. TAKEN. But you can also get it from LSU for $6.00 .
Feminism, poetry, poetics.
