This Bed Our Bodies Shaped - poems by April Lindner

Blurbs from Denise Duhamel, Molly Peacock, Thomas Lux and Mark Jarman--

This Bed Our Bodies Shaped from April Lindner is a finalist in the 2011 Able Muse Book Award. This collection is a celebration of the universal human experience—childhood, puberty, parenthood, aging—from a uniquely personal and sensual perspective. Lindner's craft, which finds masterful and original expression in metrical and free verse, enlivens each experience until we seem part of the scene. Eavesdropping on this engagingly narrated life gives us startling new insights into our own.
"April Lindner’s This Bed Our Bodies Shaped is a beautifully intimate and domestic book about the culture of family—what we bring to each other, boldly or tentatively, and what can never be known. Lindner pauses at the imprints we leave, what is buried under sand and snow, what returns to us again and again. Her poems are tender and fierce, startling in their excavations.."
                                                                                     – Denise Duhamel

Cheers,
...Alex

I thought a direct link to the poems might help ! I've already ordered my copy & have admired April's work for many years.
