Poetry. CD comprises poems read by the author, with with musical accompaniment by Mac Ritchey. "With paradoxical economy and fine-tuned irony, Finch's poems emboyd the seductive, treacherous--and redemptive--nature of language itself. Her poems remind us how the condition of music re-creates the condition of thought"--Marilyn Hacker.
