Typical Girl (Paperback)

Birds, moons, words, water, skies: with these basic elements Donna Kuhn creates a voice swirling down a hypnotizing stream of thought, thought addressed to "u," which could well be the "I" of these poems. Or of this single long poem which seems to wrap a conscious presence in a veil of motion, as if to hide something, but revealing all. Outside a "geometric beauty salon" she is "shaving inside birds"; a "typical girl" dreaming from the outside in. A beautiful and mesmerizing book.
