Theresa Burns

Design Theresa Burns

These poems touch, caress, ponder, and probe myriad facets of the world's body, that tangible, earthy presence that sustains and enlivens us. A daughter in her fashion of all-encompassing Walt, Theresa Burns revels in the whole of the tuneful yet muddy yet encouraging yet saddening drama, the great participial thrust Walt was so keen on-living. Carefully wrought, each poem has that this-is-a-leaf-from-the-earth feel, a fullness of feeling that is explicit and-to use one of the poet's words-evergreen.

-Baron Wormser, Songs from a Voice
