How to Decide Which Book to Start With
If you want the book the author herself frames as her latest and most reflective on memory and time, start with Leavings. The home page ties it to her “Quote of the Moment” from Albert Einstein about interdependence, which she says is “at the heart of Leavings and of much of my writing.”
If you prefer to browse before choosing, use the “Read more about [title] here” links under each book on the home page. The site does not provide plot summaries or sample pages for the other four titles on the home page itself, so those links are the place to check for more detail.
Other Context on the Site
The home page also includes a “Readings and Writings” section with links to past poetry readings and an email interview, plus a “Poem of the moment” titled “The Intervening Day.” These are useful if you want a sense of her writing style before buying a book. The site lists PayPal among its payment platforms, but the home page does not state shipping terms, availability, or whether purchases are fulfilled directly.
