| Publisher Description: Carol Merrill's tribute to Georgia O'Keeffe is poems in the shape of finely rendered sketches, some of them even paintings.

The details are all, sacramentalizing everyday life in a world of genius--a woman, vast space, chewy intelligence, almost selfless observation.--Allen Ginsberg, author of Howl |
