Poetry. Out of acutely observed, deeply felt particulars, Carol Moldaw constructs poetry of imaginative daring that illuminates and transforms the life within us all. In SO LATE, SO SOON, "oblique, wily, and intensely intelligent poems" repeatedly achieve, to quote from The New Yorker, "lyric junctures of shivering beauty." Aurally rich, structurally varied, inventive, and sensually textured, these are poems at once passionate and analytical, descriptive and meditative, lyrical and complex--poems that keep one eye on the moon while leveling their gaze at the self and its immediate world.
