Sweet Blisters is a testament to the healing power of the writing life. Phyllis's poems reflect the jarring clash of simple childhood joys with the nightly violation of incest, sharing both the tender side of family relationships and the hidden cruelty that only those closest to us can deliver. With playful humor and controlled rage, with free verse and forms such as the sonnet and ghazal, and with the voices of child, teenager, lover, lesbian, and writer, the poems take us on a journey through her life and how writing saved her.
