Women Who Pawn Their Jewelry by Sheila Squillante

I always hate to use the word beautiful to describe poems in a book because the word is so overused and doesn’t convey as much as it should, but this really is the best word to describe the poems in the book. The poems are extremely approachable and inviting, they are lucid and quietly moving. Beautiful is really the most apt thing to say because I found each of these poems to be a thing of beauty. I’m also impressed by the effortless flow to the poems. That has to be one of the things, taking the most work, to achieve in a poem, but Squillante definitely achieves it. All that work has already been done. The reader can just sit back and enjoy.
