Poetry conveying meaning, image, feeling and imagination.

Mary Cuffe's poetry showcased in The Woman Of Too Many Days reveals an astonishing talent for the use of language to convey meaning, image, feeling, imaginative engagement. Another Journey: The woman of too many days/is in Iceland./I know this because/I got a postcard from Iceland/and all the writing was in pigeon,/which only she knows./You'd think if a person was going/all the way to Iceland/they'd tell about it in a language someone/other than pigeons could read./Ever since she went to the mountains/the woman of too many days/has been bent on traveling./You never know where she'll turn up next.
