Synopsis
The poems of a critically acclaimed, contemporary California poet The first retrospective of the life's work of Roberta Spear (1948-2003), A Sweetness Rising includes newly published work as well as poems from her previous volumes. Nationally acclaimed and admired by both readers and peers, she wrote poems that touch people by presenting daily life in unexpected ways. In the words of Philip Levine, ''You could say at times she saw stories where there were none or where she simply invented them, exotic stories of gypsies and pranksters, travelers and seekers...[Her] vision will continue to sing, moving and touching readers for as long as people care about American poetry.''
