1 review for House of Burnt Offerings

  1. Albert C. Lynne

    ‘The gorgeous latest from Skillman’
    How does Judith Skillman keep coming up with images that knock the reader off balance, at the same time illuminating a part of his/her consciousness heretofore unlit? “House of Burnt Offerings” is the gorgeous latest from this unique and prolific poet. – Albert C. Lynne, May 11, 2015
