This collection contains three of Branch's best poems: The Monk In The Kitchen, The Warrior Maid, and The Wedding Feast. Her best work is radiant and mystical. Her worst is banal and trite. The visionary poems are deep and strange, and should not be ignored. "Ora Pro Nobis" from Branch's 1905 Collection The Shoes That Danced, and "The Name" from the anthology A Masque Of Poets published in 1918, are likewise excellent.
