A second book of poetry by Louise Erdich, author of the
bestselling and award winning novels Love Medicine, The
Beet Queen and Tracks.
Baptisim by blood,
water, or desire is necessary for salvation in Roman
Catholic tradition, and baptism of desire in the term used
for the leap of trust by which a sincere believer can
experience spiritual regeneration. Louise Erdrich's poems
are acts of redemption. Everywhere evident is Erdrich's
unique capacity for finding the perfect word, the fresh, yet
absolutely right, metaphor that makes her wrk both profound
and accessable.
