Dream Work
Her next book Dream Work followed chronologically (1986) and thematically as it demonstrates to a reader her deep sense of creation and destruction as a fragile yet tenacious double-sided coin. We don’t live in an “easy” world, she specifies in an interview with Krista Tippet on the podcast “On Being.” However, the poem “Morning Poem” shows that she does believe us to live in a fearfully, mystically beautiful one.
