Infos

In Jesse Lee Kerchevals sixth collection, <i>I Want to Tell You</i>, her searching, incantatory poems speak directly and forcefully to the reader in a voice that is by turns angry, elegiac, wry, or witty but always sharply alive. Crossing through the bewildering territory of grief, Kercheval argues with god and the universe about the deaths of people she loves. She also writes movingly about the complications of family life and love, the messy puzzle of life itself.<br><br><b>SAY THE WORD, BLISS</b><br><br><br>when the gaudy sun routs<br>the curtains<br><br>&amp; velvet <br>is<br>drawn back from window after window<br>to let the morning in<br><br>&amp; night has yet to be imagined
