Your Forever Heifer Princess

Description

Your Forever Heifer Princess is a book of poems by Melinda Susan Goodman about love, loss, grief, and family—both the ones we inherit and the ones we build for ourselves.

Her poems move with a strong cadence. You feel motion in them—walking, riding, drifting through days. The poems travel with the reader: on the subway or in the car, in bed, in memory, in conversation with God. Goodman speaks directly, without ornament or distance.

This is not poetry that tries to be daring. It doesn’t need to. The work is exposed, necessary, and deeply lived.
