From urgent spiritual quest to biting political satire, from elegy to comedy, from celebration of the city street and the world as a paradise might be \/ if we had eyes to see, to the crack in earth . . . crack in her mind, from brilliant evocations of art and music to mother-daughter wrestlings, Ostrikers poetry rings with insistence on beauty and truth.
