Penn probes the character of enduring love and the frailty of human
life. These poems are a celebration of ritual and the passage of
time.
"Penn's subject is age: winter and funerals, yes, but also
brassieres, orgasms after sixty, flourishing gardens, and four
boys, her painted warriors. The images of these poems, both tender
and bright, are as surprising as the sudden ruby of blood from a
cut. Their sensibility is as understanding of humanity as any
reader could hope for. Penn encases the double helix of love and
loss in the ordinary, whether that is a cantaloupe or the hair on a
wrist. Worlds into worlds open up in My Painted Warriors,
transforming this book of poems into a collection of miracles. It
is the kind of poetry I can turn to when I wake in the night, the
voice of both a fellow companion and a sagacious guide." - Molly
Peacock
