The Wire-Thin Bride, Cornelia Hoogland’s first book of poetry, displays a major new talent. Hoogland offers a compassionate reading of the female experience, of lineage, love, family and death, with singular lyric intensity and emotion. Highly sophisticated, delicately wrought, these poems are the graceful affirmation of a woman’s responding spirit and profound communion with the living past.
