Clifton, as always, uses language that is accessible to craft situations real and vital to her readers. The section "Some Jesus" probes the emotions of plain folks faced with miracles; "Good Times" takes its own snapshots of family in days past; "I Agree with the Leaves" explores the curious and troubling realms of spirituality and the quest for "place" in the cosmos. <b>Good Woman</b> is a fine companion to Clifton's most recent book The Terrible Stories. 309462 1 11 1987 Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980 (American Poets Continuum) total:142|5:78|4:48|3:14|2:2|1:0| 142 628 183 10 5 0 false false Mon Nov 16 10:36:11 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 10:36:34 -0800 2009 http://dog-earedpoetry.blogspot.com/2009...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 23 12:47:58 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 15:30:02 -0800 2008 1+ 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 21:38:02 -0800 2008 Fri Oct 03 13:30:13 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 01 21:38:02 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Thu Jan 03 03:47:22 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 03:51:50 -0800 2008
