Knowledge in the Hands is the work of a mature poet in full control of her métier — sensuous, delicate, evocative of dance, yet densely compelling. Physical and spiritual worlds merge, separateness disappears, one thing becomes another, and everything is made new.

Poems in Knowledge in the Hands have appeared in The Fiddlehead, Canadian Woman Studies and other journals, and “A White Gift” won the 1990 Alfred G. Bailey Award.
