Particularly Dangerous Situation

Beth Gordon's poetry is amassed here as a provocative narrative. The language is penetrating and captures stark depths of feelings in time of loss and despair. The poems are stories told with raw honesty as well as intensity. Hers is a clever reflective told from a rare but unenviable perspective. Pain and loneliness are revealed through a powerful lens that brings you to the locales portrayed, while forcing you to fell what the author felt. She tell a tale of a woman, strong but sensitive to the ways of our world. This collection is laced with sentiment while eschewing sentimentality and showcasing the artistry of a wandering spirit. ~ Jeffrey-Paul Horn, author of Notes of a Dread-headed Drifter
