Reviews

[Wayne McNeill · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely if sometimes painful record of Llewelyn's summer affair with Gamel, a very underrated female poet from the American south. These letters were written once the affair was over.

Read this as part of my research project on Gamel Woolsey. I liked the way the editor wove the letters into a concise and helpful narrative, and the sincerity of the letters made Gamel seem more real to me.
