There is a great precision and correctness in Marion Cohen’s poetry. It veers about and somehow turns out unimpeachable and loveable. Here you’ll find the reason for mortality and for carrying on with the Project. We live in a state of shared alone-ness, and this is a book to keep at our bedside and, while reading by oneself, not be alone at all. Marion Deutsche Cohen is the author of 26 books, including two controversial memoirs about spousal chronic illness, a trilogy diary of late-pregnancy loss, and "Crossing the Equal Sign," poetry about the experience of mathematics. She teaches math and writing at Arcadia University in Glenside PA, where she has developed the course, Mathematics in Literature. Her poetry chapbook, "Truth and Beauty," is about the interaction in that course. Other interests are classical piano, singing, Scrabble, thrift-shopping, four grown children, and five grands.
