Love Will Burst Into a Thousand ShapesAuthor :

Description
Art, children, marriage, breaking, rejoicing. Love is a many-branched tree and in Hamiltons newest poetry collection, her third, its autumn or winter, the winds are kicking up and branches are flying everywhere - bursting into a thousand shapes. Or maybe its Hamiltons heart that explodes into many dimensions. Tender, furious, grief-stricken, witty, urbane, elegiac, political, personal, erotic - these poems are all those things. Hamilton cant stop loving big no matter how chancy itis. All these shapes lend raw material for a poem: Mothers lose their babies. A boy loses his leg to war. A girl hides from serial killer Richard Speck. A virgin gets pregnant. A partner mourns a death at Walkerton. Women tumble into love, celebratory and foolhardy. Frank and elemental, this collection reminds us that life is worth everything we can throw at it.
