Of Gravity and Tides

Poetry. "These often wrenching family poems constellate and adhere in a remarkable way, informing one another, talking back to one another—multiplying the poignancy and sadness and luminous victories as well. These are incredible poems of parents and children, the whole web of family and loss—it's just so moving. And the cosmic beauty of the title section is stunning, but I feel it's the final section, 'Into the Light,' that is the absolute killer. I know the book has built to this section, but nevertheless it feels to me that each poem in this section is just exquisite, so perfectly balanced as we move to the elegant final two poems...."—David St. John
