The poems in "Tabernacle" pay homage to an island off the coast of Maine, to its land, its ocean, its weather, its many forms of life, including the humans who inhbit it.
I'm not much of a poetry reader, but this is a poet whom I've met, and I love several of the poems in this book. In April 2012 I saw a dance performance done while she read her poem, "Grasses," from her latest book, Bog Orchid.
