About this Book: |
|
Visceral, sassy, heart-breaking, sexy, triumphant – the poems in Red Wax Rose are unique in voice, but reminiscent of Billy Collins, presenting themselves to the reader like bone truth, evoking nods, tears, amens and hallelujahs. The autobiographical essays: “Girls,” “Holes,” and “Tarzan,” written in Finch’s trademark soft, southern drawl, are sure to connect with fans of Twain, Faulkner, Oprah, or Finch’s mentor, novelist/memoirist, Connie May Fowler.

Book Review: |
|
“Here is a delightful find, an appealing combination of simple, dark and wise…Because of Finch’s direct and intimate voice, because of her easy style, you come away from this book feeling as though you know the author as a close friend, one who can give good counsel when you need it.”
