Reviews

A few of these technically brilliant and emotionally devastating soliloquies offer glimpses into the poet s life and, in the staggering The Cancer Chronicles, her death. Let Ai s books preserve her compassion and righteous anger, her artistry and profound sense of the paradoxes of human existence. --Donna Seaman"
