Anne Marie Macari’s breath-taking second collection finds unapologetic revelation in the female body. Gloryland (Alice James Books, 2005) re-examines motherhood, death, birth, and rebirth, drawing on religious and secular creation myths to enact a feminist religion. Bold, rich lyrics reveal the grand in the domestic, claiming the physical as an essential part of the female experience, declaring that “to live fully in the body” is the truest, bravest and most glorious form of worship.
