Truth Is Beauty That Hurts: The Collected Poems of Elizabeth M. Come
Truth Is Beauty That Hurts The Collected Poems of Elizabeth M Come Author:Elizabeth M. Come, Arnold B. Come, Anne Lamott There is much to love and enjoy in the poetry of Elizabeth M. Come, as you are about to discover. She was a woman who paid attention to the world, both outside her windows, and within. Her poems are filled with inner visions, of peace and aliveness and God, as well as a sense of the mystical wonders of nature, big as the sky, tiny as "the lace-m... more »aking spider." She often reminds me of Emily Dickinson, and yet has a very specific charm all her own. These poems are filled with a sense of love and hurt, sensuality, creation, God and romantic love, animals and the soul, sweetness and anger, and a fierce social conscience.... Wise, and spiritual, and down to earth, she can be funny, and then she can break your heart; so there is joy in this poetry, and healing, sharp insight, truth, and pleasure. - from the Foreword by Anne Lamott, author of Crooked Little Heart« less
