Keep and Give Away: A review at the Luna blog

Luna: a journal of poetry and translation has reviewed my book Keep and Give Away on their blog. The review, by Gaganpreet Kaur, was posted on March 17, 2008. I'm grateful for the praise and the close attention the poems received. Click on the title above for a link to Lunapoetry.

An earlier review at Main Street Rag (scroll down) is also posted online. The review, also much appreciated, is by Phebe Davidson.
