Karen George masterfully weaves Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Emily Carr into a seamless, feminist exploration that held me in thrall, first page to last. \"I will heal better,\" the poet declares in the opening poem of this remarkable collection. She longs for a whole \"new me\" eager to dissolve into embryo, embrace life anew. Join her on this quest.

The collection includes so many lovely particulars, as when she writes about the shapes in O'Keeffe's \"The Lawrence Tree\" \"ulnar, cervical, \/ radial, intercostal-a litany \/ to tickle the tongue.\" Yet more than that, George invites readers to see larger truths in these works.
