Summary: major drop in work
Comment: A Kiss in Space is a major drop in quality of work. Anyone who has read Salter's books Sunday Skaters or Unfinished Paintings knows Salter is a top notch poet, but A Kiss in Space is just not up to the standard I'm used to seeing from her. I hope her latest book is back up there.

Summary: A Kiss in Space
Comment: This fourth collection of poetry from Mary Jo Salter comes like a dragon's breath of hot air--filling a balloon then lifting it and its occupants (we, the readers) to sail far above the expanses of Salter's lucid imagination. Thus our ride begins.
We are there, raising our champagne glasses along with Salter, as hundreds of balloons rise over Chartres. We stay at her side--happily--as she touches down on her lifetime and those of historical and fictional figures: Alexander Graham Bell, Helen Keller, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
We head into space for the kiss. We even come upon a gang of kangaroos "like flustered actors who don't know what to do with their hands... who look properly stunned when our typecast tour bus, bumptious as a cousin none of them invited, raises a ruckus of flung stones and dust and scrapes to a halt before them, face to face."
These encounters with nature, history, fiction, family, animals and the elusive self--is each a kiss in space-- and never a mere peck on the cheek.
