I've always been fascinated by Tess Gallagher's poetry. In Portable Kisses, she convincingly provides condensed librettos of lovers' patterns of approach and retreat. The poems sometimes have a mythic quality, while at other times the poet all but steps aside to wink at us and to acknowledge the power of mind over matter as it intrudes itself into even the most romantic myths. It's a book filled with beauty, energy, and surprise. --Ann Beattie.
"Playful, serious and sassy poems about kisses by one of America's leading poets."
