Description
Highly anticipated poems from beloved contemporary poet Dara Barrois/Dixon (ne Dara Wier).
In her latest collection, Dara Barrois/Dixon brings generous attention to the things we lovebe they animals, books, skyscapes, movies, poems, or other human beingsand the ways in which our stories around them help shape our sense of being.
With the same tender honesty found in all of her poetry, the poems in Tolstoy Killed Anna Karenina are curious about the world we inhabit and the worlds we create. Here, with emotional exactitude, is a collection of poems that is unafraid to express "love humor despair loving kindness love humor empathy/humor joy sympathy love kindness courage."
Reviews
