One great thing about editing the Tarot poetry anthology is that it introduced me to some amazing poets, like Cecilia. This collection of hers is inspiring and inspiriting--she shows the beauty of fresh language, just what it can do, and the divinity therein. Christian structures are paralleled with manifest deities of the quotidian, the animal, the cycle of the year. Really lovely verbs, descriptions, repetitions, and so much more. I highly recommend this book!

Really beautiful poems here. My favorite section possibly being the months one. Great personification and evokes such amazing imagery and feeling.

More like a 4.5.

The poems in The Wineglass are so lyrical and beautiful and the rhythm is magnificent. The sounds are impeccable. I didn't "get" every poem, but I didn't have to thoroughly enjoy this collection. Please read it.

February 16, 2017: I just realized I've been calling this "The Wine-glass" this whole time. Wow.
