a poem is a house

a poem is a house by linda ravenswood is a collection of poems to "remind you that you are history, embodied, a living tapestry of everyone who ever was and all they said and forgot and cherished. And wonder how the severed goat's head in the tree still sings-a reminder of what cannot be explained-even with all that history, cruelty, and beauty" (Brian Sonia Wallace, West Hollywood City Poet Laureate).
