Erica Hogan walks ceaselessly around her life lessons and examines them with complete transparency, then conveys the moment of Aha! With such clarity of mind, body, and spirit that it leaves the reader wanting more. Each poem grabs your hand and tells you do not look away! Look directly at me and see me naked beautiful in triumph and disgrace in childishness and sensuality. Erica's insights are both cleverly precise and sumptuously lyrical laced with merciful satyr and keen intensity. These poems acknowledge the mystery, the power, and the weakness of living an unflinching life fiercely, humbly, and without apology.
