<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In <em>The Plague of the Tender-Hearted</em>, Cindy Frenkel makes her way through the maze of family death, divorce, even a brother's suicide without ever losing the ability to embrace joys small and large. Despite heart-rending troubles there is still beauty in the natural world, the discovery of an unlikely new love, and moments with a beloved daughter when night "stars spill out, / enough to occupy the universe."</p><p><strong>--Mary Jo Firth Gillett</strong></p><p> </p><p>With her three-part alchemy of plain speaking, suddenly perfect metaphors, and explosive, morally anchored last lines, Cindy Frenkel portrays a family in <em>The Plague of the Tender-Hearted</em>. From the witty to the elegiac, the poems quest for the why beneath a brother's suicide and examine the underside of prosperity. But the marvels of this collection are the sassy buoyant poems of love for a daughter and unexpected love after divorce. Frenkel uses memory, the dynamics of ageing parents, and the legacy of the Holocaust to pierce us with her bullseye poetic one-liners. <em>The Plague of the Tender-Hearted</em>, with its gem-like rhymes, is both an exploration and a revelation.</p><p><strong>--Molly Peacock</strong>, author of <em>The Analyst</em> and <em>Cornucopia: New & Selected Poems</em></p><p> </p><br>
