The suites of poems, and single gems, in Billie Chernicoff’s Minor Secrets test and fuse elegy, flirtation, quest, and prayer. They tryst with visual and literary artists, Greek and Babylonian myth, fairy tales and Marian Christianity, the Tarot and the Torah. Formally diverse, playing across language and languages, the poems sound the depths of what makes us human, “bead by fragrant bead,” with delicacy and force.
