POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE

�� Featured this week in the Poets of the Week section of the PSH�
�� Bookstore:

�� PSYCHE'S WEATHERS by CYNTHIA ATKINS

�� "Cynthia Atkins knows well that we live at the mercy of the
�� unalterable systems of time and weather, and that our minds are full
�� of 'intangible ache' and 'interior storms.' Her response, and the
�� inspired industry of these poems, is to summon metaphor to the work
�� it is best suited for: pursuing the ineffable and reconciling the
�� contradictory. Atkins takes on both of these necessary tasks and
�� writes her way (and ours) toward a more salutary climate. 'The
�� weather always has something to say," one poem claims. As a keenly
�� perceptive and passionate channeler of inner and outer weathers, so
�� does Cynthia Atkins."

� � � --Jeanne Marie Beaumont, author of
� � � Curious Conduct and Placebo Effects

�� "For Cynthia Atkins, the weather is both an external and an internal
�� state. The poems in Psyche's Weathers pay attention to the natural
�� forces that govern our days, the procession of the months and the
�� seasons, the progression from cradle to grave. Here are snow and
�� rain, constellations and darkness, the 'heady light' of April, an
�� 'atomic winter.' Atkins's poems remind us of the confluence and the
�� argument between what is within and what is without, what is
�� beautiful and perilous, expected and unexpected, mysterious and
�� ordinary about human experience."

� � � --Carrie Brown

�� Paperback, 116 pages, published by WordTech Communications,
�� (November, 2007)


�� ~ If you are or were a featured poet of the week on the Poetry Super
�� Highway AND� you have a book available through Amazon.com, please let
�� me know so we can feature your work in the Poetry Super Highway
