Poems weaving through the erotic heart of a spirited poet-woman on the cusp of middle age. Elizabeth Mckim (described in Poetry Flash as "powerfully womanly... yet devilish, daring") is a pioneer performance poet. In her bawdy and intimate fifth collection, she looks back--and forward--as she ages, in poems connected by The Red Thread, a bright motif in which all is interwoven and always beats to the rhythm of the human heart. The poems in The Red Thread wind their way insistently through time and love and the hushed confusion of family secrets; between beloved sisters, daughter and granddaughter, through music, weddings, the blessing of carnal knowledge and across borders and checkpoints: India and the Middle East, where love letters float in the wind in which the innocent body is assaulted and a lover dies in woman's arms. Knitting together the heart, mind and body of one of our keenest and most tender observers, The Red Thread is a work of uncommon power.
