a polished, cohesive performance ... marked by gorgeous imagery [that] delight the senses in picture and sound

Behind the Blue Edge of the Sea is award-winning poet Judy Shaffer's long awaited collection.
"Her Garden at Twilight (Elegy for Cathy)" [...] is a polished, cohesive performance of theme in rhythmic cadence marked by gorgeous imagery. Tropes such as sunlight "lighting liquid diamonds still/ where water droplets splash," "Jasmine's arabesques," and frogs' "voices like plucked strings," delight the senses in picture and sound.
