About This Item

86 p. Has mild warping, otherwise Fine.
From back:
Kathleen Wall's second collection propels the reader into a music of clear, lyrical richness. Time's Body is at once refined and elemental, the voice both melodic and full of wit. Again and again we find ourselves in the powerful present, listening to a chord or pausing in a garden where suddenly the flow of time is glimpsed with precision and clarity. Here is amature poet at the height of her powers, showing us, virtually line by line, that each moment in our lives has extraordinary implications.
'A calm musicality pervades this collection. These intensely personal poems are liberated from the merely private by the writer's constant self-assessment (wry or solemn) which invites the reader to join in the appraisal."
- Phyllis Webb
