Review
Poet Jennifer Weinblatt's "Marriage Song for Many Voices" may strike a chord with many such brides-to-be: "marriage is a going forth we / don't talk enough about / the loss a risking what we are..," while a heart-rending excerpt from Carson McCullers's The Member of the Wedding voices the feelings of those suddenly second-bested by a new groom or bride. The hilarious "A Memo from Cinderella" puts the lie to the whole fantasy wedding: she had to work on a budget, too! This book also looks forward to the realities of post-wedding life. Poet Henry Taylor's stirring "At the Swings" positions the marriage ritual in the larger continuum of life, death and having children, making the point that wedlock is more than just a pledge between two people. That's an insight that can help any cold-footed crier see her own situation in a clearer light. --Stefanie Durbin
