By Love Possessed by Lorna Goodison

ISBN: 978-0-062-12735-8

This one had been sitting in my to-read list for a while. Something about the first page didn’t grab me like a page-turner usually does — but that makes sense, because I missed the subtitle: “Stories.”

Each story is flowingly beautiful. None feel out of place; each has, well, a story to tell. “Dream Lover” and “House Color” were the two that I connected with on a personal level. I’ve known both of these men.
