Poetry. In this third collection, Browning honors the life force that drives us all, especially celebrating how it surges back to us after loss, after loneliness, after wounds. Her signature respect for all of humanity infuses even the poems about divorce, and it soars above our collective suffering, sharing its light with sublime generosity and wit.
Says Jan Beatty, These poems yank desire from the staid lines of rhyme and form, instead enacting pleasure and pain with a rare immediacy. Browning gives us the indispensable authentic voice in a book that's not afraid to be broken, hungry, and wildly ravenous. In Tongued, ' the tongue writes its own/ constitution right here in our beds. This is a rousing book in which the clitoris speaks, and it says Yes, yes, oh yes! And you will too, dear reader, as you breathe in these stirring, dazzling poems.
Teri Ellen Cross Davis adds, In work that reads equally as a love letter to both Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia and that simultaneously chronicles the jagged heartbreak of divorce and the surprise of new love, Sarah Browning's Call Me Yes covers life's ever-changing landscape with poems that sing to the body and make a boldface call to pleasure.
