Virology by Mary Buchinger

“These poems are serious the way flowers are.  They build from an inner sensitivity to measurements, unrealized forms, to what it is that lies under the limits and expand what it is we can touch and see. I found much pleasure in sitting back with them, with analyzing and holding them at a distance so I could see what they had made of themselves. Out of sickness (o rose) into health.”

Fanny Howe, author of Manimal Woe and Love and I
