Blue Heron

Angebote / Angebote:

In Blue Heron, Elizabeth Robinson unleashes her distinctive minimalism in elegy. Alert to what is partially glimpsed, piecemeal, and indirect, to the way a fragment of life can summon the transcendent, she offers a fierce lament for her father as his physical body, sometimes bird and sometimes man, hurls itself toward burial. The title sequence spins through the wild range of feelings inside grief -- fury, confusion, buoyancy, disquiet -- while being anchored in an authority that is utterly bracing. Driven by questions and hyper-aware of loss, these poems get close to what is scathing about death: the hungers it reveals, the charades, all you may not surmount. -- Joanna Klink.
