Opis

"In "Cadabra," Jen Kindbom pulls the whimsical, the mysterious, and the beautiful out of the shadows, the common, and the forgotten, holds them both, like a butterfly and its chrysalis, in her palm and says, 'See?'" " --Sarah M. Wells, Author of "Pruning Burning Bushes

"Jen Kindbom's lyric poems address the whole world-natural, familial, spiritual, and even, in a refracted way, political. But the site of this seeing and knowledge is the poet's unique one-the fragile, lovely home of the body, rendered sensuously present in language." --"David Wright, Author, "A Liturgy for Stones " and" The Small Books of Bach

"Read these poems with your whole self, not just your eyes or your mind. If you make yourself available to them like this, very likely her language and music will take up residence in your own embodied imagination where Kindbom's very human losses and loves, like butterflies might land in our 'stomach and lungs' and be found on our 'teeth and tongue and palate' for a long time to come." --"David Wright, Author, " A Liturgy for Stones " and" The Small Books of Bach

"A lovely book, a butterfly of the spirit shimmering with grace and awe over even the smallest inhabitants of a sometimes difficult earth. Kindbom's's keen imagination and lyrical language wake us to the magic of the everyday world, saying, as she might to the moon, look, look--" --"Kathy Winograd, Author, " Phantom Canyon: Essays of Reclamation " and" Air Into Breath
