God On His Haunches by Diane Tucker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Diane Tucker writes from experience and \"the sustaining power of memory\" in this first collection of poems. She writes of falling in love with the wrong person: \"For you I ride without a seat belt, willing to be thrown clear at first impact\"; her daughter at four months, whose fingertips \"are globes of amber salmon roe/ cool smooth/ and salty\"; and growing up as an adopted child: \"mystery breathes on my bare shoulders/ whispers between my spread-eagled arms:/ you could be anyone in the whole wide world.\" Tucker treats her subjects with respect, compassion and a subtle playfulness. Her love of language, humour and poetic consciousness transforms images from everyday life into lyrical, intimate and original works of art, offering the reader fresh insights - with just a touch of magic. | God On His Haunches by Diane Tucker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
