Frozen Spring: Poems

Margo Stever is receptive without being sentimental, and she penetrates her subjects without pretense. The poems in Frozen Spring center on the strength that survives separation -- a mother from her children, a sister from her brother, a daughter from her father, a rider from her horse. "Unfolding in a series of surprising metaphors and startling linkages, her lyrics move us from the ordinary into a realm of imagination and language whose only name is poetry." -- Billy Collins
