With the same tender honesty found in all of Dara Barrois/Dixon's (formerly Dara Wier) poetry, the poems in TOLSTOY KILLED ANNA KARENINA are curious about the world we inhabit and the worlds we create. Barrois/Dixon brings profound attention to the things we love--be they animals, books, skyscapes, movies, poems, or other human beings--and to the stories that shape our worlds. Here, with emotional exactitude, is a collection of poems that is unafraid to express "love humor despair loving kindness love humor empathy/humor joy sympathy love kindness courage."
