"What would happen to us if we were to undertake the discipline of
turning our life entirely and self-consciously into a poem? Through
Yukiko, who becomes both a contemplative Buddhist and a geisha
skilled in the refinements of sensuous pleasure, Diane Frank allows
us to live within the soul of a young woman who has undertaken to
create a life imagined and expressed as a poem, in every moment,
waking and sleeping, making love or meditating. With its power of
language, Blackberries in the Dream House will seduce many readers
into considering whether a prosaic life is the only choice we
have." Pierre DeLattre Author of Walking on Air and Tales of a
Dalai Lama "Diane Frank's exquisite sensibility manifests
throughout in Blackberries in the Dream House; it is both erotic
and metaphysical. In fact, her great strength is that for her
there's no division between the two. The result is this fine
lyrical novel." Stephen Dunn Pulitzer Prize Winning Poet
