Astonishing!!!!!

Victoria Redel has done it again. With her newest book of poems graciously entitled "Swoon", Redel has captured feelings and emotions one can only hope to receive once in a lifetime. I am familiar with Redel's other works "Where the Road Bottoms Out" and "Loverboy" (a fiction yet wonderously poetic novel) and I believe "Swoon" is her best collection of poems yet. We see Redel in her highest form and we feel her confidence and maturity in this latest title. This is truly a strong woman, whose works I hope will continue to appear on my bookshelves for years to come. A must have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
