The Secret Language of Women
Summary
In The Secret Language of Women, Terry Martin paints a portrait of a world in which the most crucial language is often wordless and mystical. In these powerful poems, the sublime is housed within the domestic: kitchens are cathedrals, and the "geometry"
of rituals sustained by women teach us how to sing. Even as she acknowledges the transience and fragility
of all things, Martin finds constancy in the patience of boulders, and locates hope in the brilliant firelight of the firefly.
This is a collection about what we dare to love and what dares to love us back. It's a celebration of the many paths we take as we edge toward "the warm, the changing light."
