Review: Pentimento

Pentimento Pentimento by Alysse Kathleen McCanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alysse McCanna's chapbook, "Pentimento" sings with the true songs of a poet who has lived and paid attention. Having experienced life's tragedies, she is without self-pity but not hard hope. While the poems are very personal, as is true of good poetry, the human experience that we all live in our own journeys shines through.
