Description
There is a great precision and correctness in Marion Cohen's poetry. It veers about and somehow turns out unimpeachable and loveable. Here you'll find the reason for mortality and for carrying on with the Project. We live in a state of shared alone-ness, and this is a book to keep at our bedside and, while reading by oneself, not be alone at all.
