Earlier Households - Paperback

by Bonnie J. Morris (Author)

At first glance, Earlier Households made me nostalgic for the sixties-for Wonderbread and Bazooka, for Twister and Tang. But this fine poetry collection is no mere wistful trip down memory lane. It is a book about bloodlines and bravery, girls and ghosts, daring and desire. Full of gorgeous imagery-"Your chocolate hair, your pale brown skin like cinnamon; your ginger voice, your nutmeg laugh, your smoky taste like hazelnuts, Like chicory. Like cardamom."-this is a delicious book to taste, to nibble, to devour.
