description: This is a selection from Penelope Shuttle's six books of poetry, all of which have been published by Oxford University Press, beginning with The Orchard Upstairs in 1980. The selection was made by the author herself, showing her passionate awareness of the many ways--sacred and profane,comic, sensuous, and joyful--in which we sustain ourselves through poetry.
