There is traveling involved as you turn her pages and somehow all of the waterfalls and rivers and roads connect. Follow her sparkling, detailed phrasings and lines and you will arrive drenched in human contact. The mother in these poems recedes into myth, while the father erupts from the page, threatening disruption and disturbance. Other works capture a different life in the United States, one marked by a sense of order and withholding, which is at once reassuring and chilling. There often seems to be dialectics at play between wildness and control. Her poems reveal she is in full bougainvillea bloom.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Home<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Have I forgotten it\u2014 <br \/> wild conch-shell dialect,<\/p>\n<p>black apostrophe curled <br \/> tight on my tongue?<\/p>\n<p>Or how the Spanish built walls <br \/> of broken glass to keep me out<\/p>\n<p>but the Doctor Bird kept chasing <br \/> and raking me in: This place<\/p>\n<p>is your place, wreathed in red <br \/> <em>Sargassum<\/em>, ancient driftwood<\/p>\n<p>nursed on the pensive sea. <br \/> The ramshackle altar I visited<\/p>\n<p>often, packed full with fish-skull, <br \/> bright with lignum vitae plumes:<\/p>\n<p>Father, I have asked so many miracles <br \/> of it.
