| Summary: | The poems of Master Suffering pendulate between yield and command. The bodies of this book are supplicant yet seething. They want nothing more than to survive. But how does a woman survive? One's own healthy body helps, but illness is one of the masters of this book. Faith can be a salve for the inscrutable ailments of the body, but God is unreliable in these poems. The female bodies of Master Suffering want power. They want to control and to correct the suffering they witness and withstand. |
