Too Much World Not Enough Chocolate

Too Much World, Not Enough Chocolate Begins (in The Aptly Named, Part One) With The Poet Vividly Recalling Her Experiences In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century, Including Growing Up With Holocaust Survivors, Living Like A Hermit In The Woods, Protesting The Vietnam War, Living And Working Abroad In Israel, Yugoslavia, Japan, And China; And Always Responding To Sexism, Which She Understands To Be Ubiquitous. The Last Lines Of The Opening Poem Sum Up The Complexity Of Her Feelings: At The Beginning Of The Twenty-first Centurythe Thing That Still Amazes Meis How Easily I Startle. In Part Two, The Poet Explores The Joys And Sorrows Of Personal Relationships Between Friends, Family Members, And Lovers, As Well As The Deep And Magical Connection She Experiences To Her Own Imagination And Art.
