Sinopsis

&;Poetry,&; writes best-selling author Ellen Bass, &;is the way I pay attention, appreciate, give praise, struggle, grieve, rage, and pray. It&;s the way I embody my love for the world.&;

The Human Line, Bass&; seventh book of poems, startles with its precise detail, intimate images, and wild metaphors. Bass brings attention to life&;s endearing absurdities, and many of the poems flash with a keen sense of humor. She also faces many of the crucial moral dilemmas of our time&;genetic engineering, environmental issues, continuous war, heterosexism&;and grounds her vision in the small, private workings of the heart.

 . . . When I get home,
my son has a headache, and though he&;s
almost grown, asks me to sing him a song.
We lie together on the lumpy couch
and I warble out the old show tunes, Night and Day . . .
They Can&;t Take That Away from Me . . . A cheap
silver chain shimmers across his throat
rising and falling with his pulse. There never was
anything else. Only these excruciatingly
insignificant creatures we love.

Ellen Bass is co-author of the million-selling book Courage to Heal. She lives and teaches in Santa Cruz, California.
