Night Talks: New & Selected Poems - Contemporary Poetry Collection for Book Lovers, Perfect for Reading, Gifting & Literary Enthusiasts

Erickson's world is one of garden tomatoes, soapy water, cotton dresses, and other mundanities that, under her gaze, shine like lightning bugs, like ice. It's a world with other inhabitants, as well: grandfathers, mothers, laughing children. And with historic events: cancer, slavery. Her focus brings the moments of life, monumental and common, into our focus. These poems are quite lovely.
