In her first book of poetry, Maryann Schacht reveals a remarkable talent as she uses the Greek goat god Pan as a strong metaphor for her poetry and life. Her collection of poems is a treasury of reflection, observation, and wisdom. Her poetic style fits her purpose: spare, clean, and incisive as a bullet for power, delicately descriptive and lyrical for remembrance.
