Her own poems, she says, are \"humanist poems,\" written for everyday readers rather than an exclusive audience--poems that do not require an academic explication in order to be understood. Of \u003cem\u003eThe Devil's Tour\u003c\/em\u003e, her newest collection, she writes: \"This is a book of poems about standing in the dark, about trying to memorize the bad news. The tour is a tour of the skull. l am thinking of Satan in \u003cem\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/em\u003e: 'The mind is its own place and it can make a hell of heav'n or a heav'n of hell ...
