What We Carry (American Poets Continuum)
by Dorianne Laux
On This Page
Description
Finalist, 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry. Dorianne Laux's poetry is a poetry of risk; it goes to the very edge of extinction to find the hard facts that need to be sung. What We Carry includes poems of survival, poems of healing, poems of affirmation and poems of celebration.Tags

I laughed...I cried...I blushed and wanted a cigarette. From the sentimental (in a good way) "For My Daughter Who Loves Animanls," to the super-sexy "The Lovers," Laux is a joy to read. She'd be a friendly gateway into poetry for anyone who doesn't have a lot of experience with the genre.
Life given in meters quotients of diurnal life with a raunchy tone of inebriation
