Unclenching - Paperback

by Cindy Glovinsky (Author)

Cindy Glovinsky has an unmistakable presence and voice. The poems in Unclenching chronicle the responses of a fervent consciousness taking on whatever the quotidian has to throw at it in the form of boredom or frustration or craziness or injustice and giving back at least as good as it gets. At times the voice is resigned-"I wonder why we tried so hard/to change things/if this is where we were going to end up" ("They Don't Know")-while at other times it channels the energy and outrage of stand-up comedy. But, in whatever mode, it remains the expression of a serious, thinking, feeling, and eminently relatable fellow human being as she entices us into accompanying her on this entertaining, engaging, and occasionally wild ride.
