Tart Honey

Arts & Literature

“What a lush collection of poems Deborah Burnham has written, a chronicle of a long-standing commuter marriage whose intimacies are as sensual as summer, whose weekly separations are as poignant as moonlight on dark water. To lose the touch and feel of love, the poems suggest, is to lose the earth itself in all its verdancy. To regain it is to hear birdsong once again, to taste the luscious honey of days on the tongue.”
