Title: A loving book
Product review: Tangled Vines is a very personal, and very lovely collection of poems about the difficult and essential relationship between mother and daughter. Poems are grouped around themes which are lived as much as they are literary: care for an infant, sorrow for a mother's death, anger at her interference. The emotions cover the entire range that we all experience in these relationships. The formal range is almost as great, although there are few poems in traditional forms. The poems are accessible, so that readers who do not usually read poetry will find much to love, while those of us who live with poetry as we live with our mothers will also find much to challenge us. It's a book I've had by my bed for a month, and a book I intend to give my mother for her birthday.
