In her eclectic collection of poetry, Jessica Isaacs' makes her points incisively and passionately based on what she observes and experiences as wife, mother, teacher and poet. She gets down to business without any detours or disguises. She shakes you awake and tells you how it is!
The first section, mostly love poems, is a joy to read. The second section also was interesting. The third section, more political, left me a bit flat. Nevertheless, some wonderful poetry within and well worth your time. There's a reason "Deep August" won the Oklahoma Book Award in 2014.
