Reviews
Richeldis of Walsingham by Sally Thomas is a collection which pays homage to the Middle Ages pilgrimage site called "England's Nazareth" which was destroyed in 1538: "A lost doorway holds a slanted shadow / That looks on a demolished island, fallow / Still in a rare whitewash of moonlight. / Could it live there, with no sun to cast it?" Astonishing language echoes all through this insightful collection. Leah Maines, former Poet-in-Residence at Northern Kentucky University, and author of Beyond the River and Looking to the East With Western Eyes
