Presumably first edition. 86 p. Has mild warping, otherwise Fine. From back:Kathleen Wall's second collection propels the reader into a music of clear, lyrical richness. Time's Body is at once refined and elemental, the voice both melodic and full of wit. Again and again we find ourselves in the powerful present, listening to a chord or pausing in a garden where suddenly the flow of time is glimpsed with precision and clarity. Here is amature poet at the height of her powers, showing us, virtually line by line, that each moment in our lives has extraordinary implications. 'A calm musicality pervades this collection.

From dust jacket: Neighbors in rural Kirtland, Ohio, welcomed Jeffrey Lundgren when he, his wife Alice and their four children rented a rundown farmhouse. After a group of devout, often attractive, and college-educated young men and women, formerly from the Reorganized Church of the Latter-Day Saints, moved in, residents assumed they were starting some sort of commune. But under Lundgren's warped leadership, these people nurtured an apocalyptic vision at odds with true Mormon beliefs that would ultimately lead to the kidnapping and murder of an entire family, including three small children. Lundgren ruled his group dictatorial powers. He led the men through paramilitary exercises in preparation for the violent takeover of the Kirtland Temple, and the women through bizarre sexual rituals. Nightly harangues focused on a "blood sacrifice"… Read More
