ReviewShelley Minden’s Shape Shift is a foray into the miraculous, into a passionate, feeling cosmos that exists beneath the bland crust of the real. Minden’s is a lifelong rebellion against lockstep societal allegiances that distract from bonds with more kindred souls and essences—the beset moon, a seal that materializes in her studio apartment, a blue swampflower. It’s precisely the unwillingness of these poems to settle for anything short of “excavating ardor” that gives them their unique tang. Minden won’t pass through Blakean experience to find wisdom; rather, she trusts guilelessness all along and makes her leap.Deborah Woodard, author of Borrowed TalesAbout the AuthorShelley Minden is a cross-genre writer and storyteller.
