An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge

Out of the Dust

Out of the Dust - Karen Hesse

Hesse's descriptive language is great as always (disclaimer: I've only read three of her books). I remember finding the poems about Biilie Jo's hands unreadably graphic as a kid, and they're even more unreadably graphic as an adult. But other than that and a few of the more experimental poems the writing is lovely and the story is pretty satisfying.
