Limn the Mask

by Danielle Notaro

In this first book of poems Danielle Notaro undertakes a quest to write the self on paper. The essence of self being notoriously resistant to description, she has limned it through interactions with the phenomenal world. These writings, which have unfolded over the course of thirty years, have taken Notaro on a trek through difficult emotional landscapes mining the gold in melancholy, the cure in the wound. Sometimes her task is to sit with paradox and sometimes it is just to sing the joy of life or the beauty of the natural world. The book is ultimately a celebration of the human capacity to love, in spite of all, because of all.
