My Father's Drawer Jennie Mintz

My Father's Drawer explores the trajectory of the poet's life through childhood turbulence and mature hardship which she navigates with grace and resilience. Mintz's poetry does what we wish all poetry would: make even sadness a source of pleasure, because her words always come alive as she reveals through the magic of language a lamenting that never sounds self-absorbed but simply marks the achievement of wonder as the triumph of the poem.
