Taking us into her confidence, telling us her secrets, Prinzmetal gives us a rare gift. Courageous and movingly intimate, her voice speaks the poignant music of mortality, \"the cadence between pain's husky gasps.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita, author of \u003cem\u003eMy Kindred\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne marvel of \u003cem\u003eEach Unkept Secret\u003c\/em\u003e is how the sequence weaves deeper into a life by way of evocative touchstones. As the striking poems wend through detail and damage with a quiet, relentless courage, we come to care for the fullness of a family. Yet, Prinzmetal is wily, too. What we know is as important as what we don't, and the absence makes room for a haunting, underlying silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-John C.
