This book is sumptuous repast for ear and imagination as Benedek pulls us in close to her contemplated world of things and sings us through.\u003cp\u003eMichelle Bitting, \u003ci\u003eBroken Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLin Benedek's latest collection, \u003ci\u003e Singing Lessons, \u003c\/i\u003e has a \"morning glory,\" \"French horn,\" \"say salvation\" soundtrack playing throughout the poems, which, above all, demonstrate that \"women need to take up more space.\" From Marvin Gaye to Papa Haydn to variations on variations, you won't be able to keep yourself from humming along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynne Thompson, \u003ci\u003e Fretwork\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems blend all the senses, the nerves of the brain, and the blood of the heart.
