Fictional Teeth

by Linda Dyer

Poetry. Venturing into the territories of family and loss, persistence and hope, SanFrancisco poet Linda Dyer's voice is wry and inventive in these poems,where a crayfish can be a child's pet, a lover's makeshift ashtrayan erotic lure, office supplies a convenient resource for makeovers."Her poetry is a naked poetry--haunting, seamless, and precise," writesDenise Duhamel. "Witty and tough, drawing on science and street argot,[Dyer] at the same time has a feeling for the inner magic of the word,the quirky phrase, in the manner of Plath or Hopkins."--Alan Williamson

I'm looking forward to digging into this but it's had to take a back seat to other more pressing reading for a brief period of time.
