What reviewers are saying about
In the Museum of Surrender
Gary Lawless:
As we move through the museum of surrender-the rooms of loss, of grief, the poet gives us resilience, joy, and roots reaching "deep/into the dark". . . and we want to be there when she sings her songs of strength and beauty, songs of life, songs for the living.
-Co-owner, Gulf of Maine Books;
author of Caribouddhism and In Ruins
Rhea C�t� Robbins:
Sit and listen, you can hear the wind blowing through the poems, longing. The future being drawn, defined. Doors close and the words become energy. A fox waits for your eyes to see. Renewal, rain cleansed, rejuvenation; resolve-a question and answer. Raw, rational, rationale. Dare to enter this world of sublime impressions.
-Author of Down the Plains and Wednesday's Child.
Chris Bursk:
This book recognizes the broken pieces our lives can't help but become, but it renders each broken piece more beautiful. We get Ariadne's side of the myth, enter the museum of surrender with its room full of hands, its entire floor of hearts; we pore over a box of yellowed paper resonant with history, Memere's First Communion note, Aunt Bern's tourtiere recipe. A love of language and a courageous embrace of life shine through all these poems.
-Author of nine books of poetry, including The First
Inhabitants of Arcadia and The Improbable Swerving of
Atoms.
