Description:
Linda Goodman, author of the renowned Sun Signs and Star Signs, focuses on distilling love through her astrology and has captured its essence in a poignant book of poetry in Venus Trines at Midnight. Often her poems reflect the rhythm and semantics of the Timothy Leary era through phrases like "this game of freak-out croquet" found in "Listen, Shy Pussycat, This is Where it's at." And while Goodman is not afraid to show her vast knowledge of astrology, it isn't a tool she brandishes with a heavy hand but a rapier she wields with eloquence. Even her most blatant references to the stars, such as in the brief "Astrology Lesson," are a delightful insight, not only to the personal dynamics of a relationship, but to the art of astrology itself: "Mars is the ruler of Aries" "Nothing rules Aries" "Mars is the ruler of the first house" "That's better" --Brian Patterson
