As I read Claire Coenen's poetry, I am right there with her on the porch snapping green beans, with her in her childhood living room leaping from the coffee table to the "cloud cushions." As the wise woman says, in one of my favorite poems in The Beautiful Keeps Breathing, her "words are everything." Open this book to any page and be pulled in, transported, and lifted by the everything of Claire's words.
