dc.description.abstractThe poet's voice is clear, direct, yet artful. The sensibility that pervades these poems is that of a mature woman with an inquiring mind and a strong sense of family attachments. Almost every poem delivers a sidelong irony, a study in contrasts that is always overridden by the sense of common humanity shared by two disparate cultures.
