Where Divinity Begins is stunning - sexy, jazzy, somber, and steeply Gregorian by turns. The poems view the world through an eye that magnifies and transforms like a prism. The voice blooms deep within a woman's psyche, and speaks of the human soul, its myths, arts, passions and ordinary objects. But most of all the poems sing, and music here becomes thought, prayer, and the food that sustains us, carries us on our journeys. —Betsy Sholl
