The Journals of Scheherazade by Sheryl St. Germain |
as if you were death,
a lake foreign and deep.
I have written out my will
given away my possessions
and I am not coming back
until I am changed.
"These are not so much 'confessional' poems, as women are accused of writing, but works which reach the universal heart of humankind [and are] . . . worthy of a Ferlinghetti mindset in terms of social impact."—Penelope Reedy, editor and publisher of The Redneck Review of Literature
"[Her] poems are filled with forces she does not accept without taking what she can from their internal energy to create a language of darkness."—The Bloomsbury Review
"It may well be that Sheryl St. Germain, having demonstrated such considerable early talent, will emerge as one of America's leading turn-of-the-century poets."—Pauline D. Robertson
SHERYL ST. GERMAIN, originally from New Orleans, is a poet whose previous books include Going Home, The Mask of Medusa, Making Bread at Midnight, and How Heavy the Breath of God.
