My Chocolate Sarcophagus

Poetry. "The twenty-three poems in Claudia Carlson's CHOCOLATE SARCOPHAGUS combine raw courage and absolute beauty. Powerful, poignant, ecstatically lyrical, and beautifully crafted, they present us with an unflinching contemplation of mortality that never descends into sentimentality. In these poems, Carlson brings us an important message from the edge of life."—Mary Mackey
