Blessings and Curses
By Anne Whitehouse
Reviewed by Book Noted
From the publisher: Blessings and Curses by New York poet Anne Whitehouse is a series of [twenty-four] curses and [forty] blessings that cover territory both familiar and deeply personal.
Both curses and blessings are quietly illuminating, neither too full of sadness nor of joy rather a perfect balance of what a life brings and what a perceptive heart has gleaned. [Whitehouse] writes with a sure hand, schooled in the craft of poetry so that what she has to impart has the right language to say it without interruption.
Anne Whitehouse was born and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated from Harvard College and Columbia University. She is the author of The Surveyor’s Hand (poems) and Fall Love (novel). Her second novel, Rosalind’s Ring, set in Birmingham, is a finalist in the Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Awards. Her poetry chapbook, Bear in Mind, is forthcoming from Finishing Line Press. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter. Jan 2010
