Poetry is not abstruse. Poems are relevant to contemporary experience and in language that includes the demotic as well as lyrical and metaphoric.
— Shara McCallum
These wonderful poems open a world of sensation and memory. But it is a world revealed by language, never just controlled. The voice that guides the action here is openhearted and openminded—a lyric presence that never deserts the subject or the reader. Syntax, craft and cadence add to the gathering music from poem to poem with—to use a beautiful phrase from the book, ‘each note tethering sound to meaning.
— Eavan Boland
