Broken Moon
In this first collection of her poems, Carole Satyamurti speaks in a distinctive voice, at once accurate, compassionate, intelligent, and resonating with a finely judged sense of the ludicrous. Many of these poems concentrate on the strategies of people attempting to deal with loss and
deficiency in their lives. Not afraid to confront painful subjects, Satyamurti displays both deep sympathies and humor in her poetry as she moves her readers without risking sentimentality.
