    Poetry for the People

    Who has the nerve to write "Please use this for children, and not for war and guns" on her tax return? Poet and pacifist Cynthia Gustavson. Beginning with "Where Artists Come From" until the final poem, Gustavson has a way of igniting sparks with readers. She is honest and fearless (as in "The Boom Site"), knows how to arrange the words to form images (".syllables singing into history's ear."), and requires that we think about our circumstances, about our reactions to whatever is thrown our way (for example, intimately understanding that ".not being moved requires great mobility..."). It's worth a poetic read.
