Publisher Marketing: MASTER SUFFERING pendulates between yield and command; the bodies of this book are supplicant yet seething—they want nothing more than to survive. But how does a woman survive? One's own healthy body helps, but illness is one of the masters of this book. Faith can be a salve for the inscrutable ailments of the body, but God is unreliable in these poems. The female bodies of MASTER SUFFERING want power; they want to control and to correct the suffering they witness and withstand.
