The Golden Hour (Autumn House Poetry) - Softcover

"The lessons in these poems are subtle, but poignant. Afraid of loss?--'Don't you worry your pretty little head.' Many of these poems inveigle us to treat failure, personal and physical, with dignity and to relish the absurdities of life. Thompson never met an embarrassment she didn't like, but she wisely stops just short of a breakthrough revelation."--Barrett Warner "Loch Raven Review" (1/1/2012 12:00:00 AM) The lessons in these poems are subtle, but poignant.
