Book Overview
"This is a splendid book, morally serious, poetically authentic, spiritually discerning." -- C. K. Williams, from his judge's citation for the 1997 Walt Whitman Award Barbara Ras, a poet exquisitely heedful of nuance both physical and visceral, cinches deserved renown with this prize-winning debut collection. Bite Every Sorrow invites the reader to embrace beauty, loss, outrage, and the world in all its particular heartbreaks and hilarities, because, as Ras asks, "What's life without the details?"

"I used to dream souls, puffed up and sighing"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
BITE EVERY SORROW is a multihued book full of both a strange sadness and the glowing wonder of laughter. "If there are oceans to saddle/ if you could get there, catch the horse/ if you are holy, long enough/ the suger will be taken from your right hand." Ras writes. She provides the saddle, and if you are holy enough, it will certainly give you an exhilarating ride through the lush scenery of her soul.
wonderful!

Ras discribes everyday life as if it were all genuine feelings. Wonderful discriptive language that paints many bright colored pictures.
