Naked as Eve
These resourceful poems beckon to us with their
music, subtle wit and insight into human foibles and desire. The
portraits of family, marriage, her canny meditations on language
and the natural world insinuate themselves in memory and won't
let go. A consummate poet, McClanahan proves herself a master
at achieving just the right tone of voice, somber or high-spirited;
the appearance of Naked as Eve, her fourth collection,
is an occasion to gladden the heart.-- Colette Inez
Whether the subject is her religious girlhood or conjugal love
and its discontents, Rebecca McClanahan writes with grace and
charm and with a lovely feel for the erotics of disaster (and
survival).
--David Lehman, Editor of The Best American Poetry
