==Reviews and excerpts==<br />
<br />
From 1. ''Poetry Addresses Her Sister, the Novel''<br />
<br />
<br />
As children we were called,<br />
<br />
more often than not, <br />
<br />
by the other’s name.<br />
<br />
But then you developed a swagger, busty with hips.<br />
<br />
Mother preached to me, “Don’t relish, don’t romance disaster.<br />
<br />
Don’t grow inward so: Be more like your sister.”<br />
<br />
But I would think even she would admit<br />
<br />
::you go on too much. <br />
<br />
You need to learn to whittle soap<br />
<br />
:to a narrow bone, to live in steam<br />
<br />
so the wool shrinks to a toughened swatch,<br />
<br />
not a sweater, not a mitten, something otherworldly.<br />
