Review "The tangible power of love so seductively expressed. The compelling verses made a beeline to my heart." --Diane Denbaum, Author of Madly in Love Forever. "I love them. . . they are direct. . . reach right out and pull you in, accessible, easy to follow and understand, yet with surprising images and unpredictable word play. . . dense with meaning they delight the mind, and also touch the heart, make vulnerability safe. I had several aha experiences reading these poems, recognizing my own heretofore unnamed, unexpressed moments. Finally, they roll off the tongue, rich with alliteration and internal rhyme. They beg to be read aloud, even if no one else is there to hear. " --Carol Olicker "Ive been following Margo Von Strohubers writing for many years, and the poems in Tangled Threads are her best. What I most admire in these poems is the raw passion and fierce minimalism. Every line is transparent to the emotions. Every poem in this book is a jewel." --Diane Frank, Author of Canon for Bears and Ponderosa Pines "Margo von Strohubers lively poems sing with wit, intelligence, and passion. With a poets finely tuned ear and wicked sharp intelligence these poems consume the reader in the true art of poetry. They do the hard work of speaking the truths that lie beyond polite assumptions. They are brave, smart, full of heart and wisdom with a smidge of laugh out loud chuckles to boot. Do not miss these poems. Among the best Ive read in ages."--Meg Hill Fitz-Randolph Long Description Margo is a poet whose body of work has primarily remained buried in her desk drawer.
