Thicker Than Water: Poems From a Life Uncharted
Tracy Plath's first venture into poetry touches on themes of past abuses, the pain of betrayal and divorce, the stultifying depths of depression and inability of others to reach through to the suffering depressive, the transformational power of new love, the warmth of family, and the redemptive and healing properties of writing. In lyrical poetic forms and free form prose poetry, she describes the arc of one woman's adult life through pain to ultimate peace.

Heartbreakingly honest and raw and yet beautiful. Plath layers her words with precision and skill telling her tale of despair, hurt and the search and discovery of new love. My favourite piece - "With, Without" carries the lines -
"Poets are con artists manipulating prose,
so let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Wonderful stuff.
