Review "Poems in this collection appear as psalms or elegies for an ill daughter, often rendered through a mothers obsession with flowers. The poems are like small impressionist paintings by a poet with a controlled hand and eye and strong voice."—Dorianne Laux, author of Only As the Day Is Long: New and Selected Poems Long Description Floriography Child is a book about salvation: what gives people strength in the face of adversity, not just to endure, but to move through and beyond our myriad human sufferings.
