Description
"[Doreen] has become an expert at controlling the speeds of her poems, and this automotive aspect of poetic expression is not something to be scoffed at- not simply because most people's minds spend an hour or two a day in motion in cars, but because that motion and the inner workings of mind and heart have played important parts in shaping or reshaping our poetry."
-Jack Hirschman
