With Apologies to Mick Jagger, Other Gods, and All Women

By Jane Rosenberg LaForge

Like, as LaForge writes "the calculated wreckagethrough mirrors and poetry," there is a beauty andgruesomeness here that speaks boldly to all that listen. These poems are tightly woven, evocative portraits. And you will take notice, because there is a certain religious quality at work. A worship ofwords and schemas, a concise arc of time and evolution, each poem the body and the blood, a feeling of knowing that LaForge has a plan inmind for you.~ Lisa Marie Basile Jane Rosenberg LaForge's poems read like a catalogue of the curious.She creates not one but many worlds with deft language , stark images and a wide, gaping eye. Nothing is off limits as these poems tacklePutin, ankles, youth, teeth, Jagger, old age, sisterhood and other delights and vagaries of the living and the dead. Part mythology andfable, part prayer and dirge , part telescopic and up close and personal, these magnificent poems resonate, throb, and fairly hum with the the fascinating details of the way lives are lived.~ Michelle Reale, author of four chapbook collections, and two-time Pushcart Prize nominee
