Linda Pastan includes topical verses about Abu Ghraib and 9/11 in her Queen of a Rainy Country, but this seventysomething mostly focuses on childhood, marriage, and mortality.
Sample Verse
Hearing her maiden name ''is like waking up after a too-long sleep/and
having to rub the syllables from my eyes.''
Lowdown
Kitchen-table confessions — affectionate, wistful, sometimes unsettling.
