PRAISE FOR SOMETHING SO GOOD IT CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH Immersing yourself in the work, you'll discover stories rich in warmth and humor, as well as pain and regret. Some of the best are in the voice of a mature and sage (sadder but wiser) woman looking back at the missteps of her younger self, especially in love. . . . In addition to poignant narratives, this collection includes dry humor and the satisfaction of deep metaphor. . . . Revelations arise from well-observed details in these poems..." -Jeanne Julian, Main Street Rag In Something So Good It Can Never Be Enough, we see denial and indulgence-all the things we withhold: love, food, companionship, desire, hope-and what happens when we allow ourselves these things. "I defined myself for years by how I followed rules, / . . . denied for so long all the ways my body / wanted to devour and be devoured."
