This collection of poems by James Tipton contains a foreword by Isabel Allende. Each poem testifies to the bedrock of Tipton’s imagination and taken together, the poems are extravagant yet earthy, tender yet passionate, wild yet intimate, crazy yet hopeful. It is a poetry of transformations, an invocation of exuberant vitality.
