Summary

Norma Smith’ s poems come out of a long life filled with its share of grief and healing, thwarted love, and love en-joyed. HOME REMEDY reflects the tension and ease of finding the cure for what ails you. The book is full of skepticism and hope. The poems are deeply sensual, which means they can be painful. HOME REMEDY will take you through to a place where you can see that life is much more complicated than mortality.
