To Fit Your Heart into the Body (Bright Hill Press Poetry Book Award Series)

Poetry. "Like the best paintings, the poems in this collection make us see with precision, and yet force us to see in new and marvelously idiosyncratic ways: "you catch the passsage of clouds/ by looking into the eye of the pond." Indeed, I am reminded of Alexander Pope's dictum about true wit: "What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed." With her fine observing eye, her ear for the serpentine nuances of language, and her sly use of occasional and slant rhymes, Neeld reassures us that her is a gifted poet wonderfully at work"--Robert Cooperman.
