Summary

"[Her poetry] is the perfect marriage of the realism of William Carlos Williams and the sleepless heaven-seeking... of Dickinson and Hopkins."--Virginia Quarterly Review In the wake ofBlue Venus, called "a virtuoso book" by theLos Angeles Times Book Review, comes this ravishing volume of bodily, even carnal prayers, that quiver with the ecstasy and anguish of longing. Lisa Russ Spaar has long produced poems that emit a palpable, devotional Eros, butSatin Cashis a raw, more elemental invocation of human yearning--a startling song of worship and fetish.
