<b>“Certain lines had become like incantations to me, words I’d chanted to myself through sorrow and confusion” —Cheryl Strayed, <i>Wild</i> </b><br><br>“<i>The Dream of a Common Language</i> explores the contours of a woman’s heart and mind in language for everybody—language whose plainness, laughter, questions and nobility everyone can respond to. . . . No one is writing better or more needed verse than this.”—<i>Boston Evening Globe</i>
