description: Sue Ellen Thompson's poems explore the passions of everyday life. From teenage love to the uncertain gamble of marriage to the angst of raising a teenage daughter, the poems follow the inevitable cycle of domestic life. Thompson's craft is impeccable, her ear for the music of language faultless -- she is a formalist whose fierce emotions are honed to a dangerous edge.
