Title: The poem "Kissing" made me cry!
Review: I was drawn to the rawnness of Dorianne Laux's poetry from the very first poem, "Late October." How many of us have felt the powerful grip of our own emotions as we are swept in a torrent of uncontrolable action? I also loved the imagery of "After twelve days of Rain." I found that I had to read this book in little bites. I just could not run through her poems in one sitting. After a month of reading I went back to read again and I'm sure that one half-drunk afternoon I'll pick this work up again and see what I missed on two reads. "Kissing" made me cry and "This Close" reminded me of someone I'd like to see again. I liked this book and someday I'd like to have a cup of coffee with the one who lived it.
