Title: Songspeak
Product review: Endrezze deserves a seat among the most beloved of our contemporary poets. She prods gently but persistently at themes of love, loss, nature, and the dreamlike to create a complex, luminous world all her own. Sometimes verging on a unique version of magic realism, other times plainly, intimately blunt, Endrezze's lyricism falls somewhere between Rita Dove and Gretel Ehrlich. The people in her poems--daughters, sons, lovers, husbands--merge with horses, birds, foxes, trees, stones, and sky to form raw but often poignant poems spun in a language as elegant and acute as the images impregnating it. Her poems have stayed with me as if they were memories of my own life.
