she talks to herself in the language of an educated woman

Author: Frances Jaffer

Publisher: Kelsey Street Press (1981)

"These are poems which embody a rare and wonderful intelligence. An intellect of emotions of the body of all the philosophical questions embedded in a woman's experience; the insights of mothers and daughters with none of the lies of over-simplicity of hiding. At turns canny, funny and stunning, these poems make one want to reason and weep."

-Susan Griffin
