ROCKS

AND

CRAZY PEOPLE

Review: This is a marvel of a collection, the words deep-set, tamped into place, or else "sliced clean from the bone." Lynnel Jones makes astonishing poems out of narratives of staggering loss. Her poems recover the sensations of life lived to the hilt--with fidelity to the body and its power to endure, and to words and their power to redeem.

--Lee Upton, author of Undid in the Land of Undone
