The Dream of a Common Language: Poems 1974-1977 in Bloomington, MN

“Certain lines had become like incantations to me, words I’d chanted to myself through sorrow and confusion” —Cheryl Strayed,

The Dream of a Common Language
explores the contours of a woman’s heart and mind in language for everybody—language whose plainness, laughter, questions and nobility everyone can respond to. . . . No one is writing better or more needed verse than this.”—
Boston Evening Globe
