Heavenly Bodies
Poetry. In the poem 'Missing Dark Matter' Dona Stein asks, 'Why do we search the grand lost dust/of astral explosions as if we must/recover everything? Can't we leave/some things lost?' HEAVENLY BODIES answers her own question, for these poems explore wheat could be lost but for the skill and wisdom of poetry. This book gives us a view from an earth made better by Dona Stein's writing (Grace Cavelieri). These 28 finely-crafted poems address, among other things, work, sex, hair, death, race, memory, womanhood, and Sally Ride -- and do so with an unwaveringly honest gaze and an unwaveringly deft use of language.
