Description
Poetry. "Hansel takes the stuff of her life—that first person world—and spins a web which takes in all of us who have lived awhile. We travel through her poems blessed 'with light for (our) journey,' feeling not like voyeurs but companions for whom, Hansel claims, 'I must still give thanks.' Enlarged by our journey, we offer our thanks back to her"—Dana Wildsmith.
