Lynne McMahon offers poems of memory and youth, "all lycra and spandex"; of literary influences, from Gerard Manley Hopkins to Anna Akhmatova (from whom the book's title is derived); and of adulthood and the ambiguities of family life, a yearning to heal divisions between the public and the private, between outer meaning and inner perception.
