A blend of photos and poems creates a collection both tender and precise.
"Every book of poems tells a poet’s life story. Thin Skin tells the story of a poet’s troubled life buoyed by her own compassionate acts, a life emboldened by the resiliency her own empathy gives her. Although marked with the indelible blear of many sunless days, Drew Myron’s world makes . . . "a large leap into a saffron sky." Her lyric poems map the demanding yet potentially rewarding routes people must take — . . . "the terrain / of this generous world."
