Reaching for the Nightingale

In her book Reaching for the Nightingale, Beth Fox covers a lot of ground: geographically, from Tennessee to Mexico and back to New England, and, in terms of content and usage, enlisting participants that range from snapping turtles to George Washington Carver. She captures our attention with striking details and devices. With great imagination and insight, the poet gives us striking ways to look at our human condition.
