Book of the Week: aprés bath

Wanda D. Cook creates beautiful, hand-crafted poetic offerings in a variety of shapes, most of which defy representative reproduction in two dimensions. This book (self-published, 2009) is perhaps more normative but no less beautiful, and speaks to two of her abiding interests, reminiscence and sensuality.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

fiddlehead time
the tiny pink fist
of our newborn
spring moon
she models her training bra
for the mirror
fourth of july fireworks
the kisses
on her first love letter
