This is a book I will want to reread when I’m not overwhelmed with teaching and my own school. I rushed through it to get done, some of this short classic dragging along. I was mad Clare didn’t stand up for herself against her husband but also couldn’t imagine being in her shoes. I would never want to hide my history even though I’m so called “passing”.

Not really my type of poetry but still written well enough for me to want to read some earlier work. I agree with some of the reviews that there seems to be some unfinished thoughts. I wasn’t pulled in or excited to read more after I started.
