Description: A doll's "small porcelain head" may seem like a frangible thing, but in White's mysterious, moving collection, delicately envisioned but indestructibly wrought, dolls are solidly there--able to "dance violently/ without the threat of consummation or injury." It's humans who are breakable, tentative, and open to anguish, as evidenced by one haunting figure whose suicide note ends the collection--Library Journal
Notes: Poems.
