“What an impressive collection. These poems capture the body, the weight it holds, the weight it wants inside of it, the animals that know what we can’t say out loud. There is so much passion and pain in these poems with subtle but strong tones of desire and sexuality. I’m really impressed and so happy i brought this book to the beach with me.”
“I had this strong urge to read poetry (I blame it on Janet Fitch's White Oleander ) and I came across a review for Beautiful in the Mouth written by Janet Fitch herself and I just knew I had to read this. I enjoyed every word of this sensual, beautiful, and sometimes dark collection of poetry by Keetje Kuipers. My favorite lines were in the poem entitled "Finally":
"That finally coming to love you
has been a hard-earned pleasure,
so that every time you enter me
I want to cry out, Bury me,
bury me. Put me in the ground."
Goosebumps!!”
