One is swept into the world of this woman who reportedly was nearly a recluse and yet commanded intense powers of observation, a deep spiritual sense, and a broad vocabulary. Another reviewer declared him or herself unentertained. But that was not the point of these poems, for only a couple were published or were even written to be published. These were private works, the outpourings of the soul, meant for private devotion and personal expression. They are the window by which we see the inner workings of a very private person. I was moved.
