Gillian Conoley's SINKING INTO THE LEOPARD PILLOW continues what Conoley does as no one else does it----be her kind of way of present with an eye, ear, heart, and mind attentive to and alerted by the complicated and ever-roiling human tendencies she knows;  in eight poems a few of the things that happen are "I love my tiny part Neanderthal DNA,"  a "combustible planetarium" appears, someone says, "I am no longer afraid of robots," the "Election Year" casts its pall, there is the "leitmotif of a bra strap," we are invited to visit "The House of Love."
