Andrea Romeo Hall has published her first book of poetry, Love Poems for Terrorists. It is a slim volume full of watchful, well-crafted work.
Dangers abound in the world she creates–a husband steps off the curb into the path of a bus, a random terrorist attack happens, a family gets lost in a desert, children start fires and jump off the roofs. But what saves them all is also in the title: love. The collection closes with two newlyweds, twin typewriters clacking, and this wise instruction:
Remember to
crack your way in
every so often
and rearrange the jelly
of your imagination.
