Apprehend

by Elizabeth Robinson

"Taking her cues from folktale, legend, and fable, Elizabeth Robinson has reinvented the 'uses of enchantment.’ She shows, with a minimalist's precision and a logician's attention to linguistic morphology, how the often bleak agenda of the real capitulates to the moral restitution of the true; how our need to tell stories enjambs faith and enlightenment."
--Ann Lauterbach.

It's a marvel what one can do with poetry. This book is worth the time to figure it out.
