<p>This poetry collection showcases all the features of Joan Logghe&#39;s work that have attracted so many readers: her attention to detail, her warmth, humor, and passionate and inclusive social conscience. At once postmodern and deeply rooted in her adopted northern New Mexico home, Logghe&#39;s work connects disparate events and objects.</p><p>'I named my last child Hope. I never had a last child,' she writes in the poem 'True or False.'<br />
<em>Television Is the Golden Calf I read about<br />
In Sabbath School. My teacher lied.<br />

I love everything by Joan.'--Natalie Goldberg, author of <em>Writing Down the Bones</em></em></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
