Speaking in the Light

About the Book

“What you hear in the dark you must speak in the light.” Matt. 10:27 From a path beginning in sun-smeared meadows and blue-sky shoreline, the poet tumbles into a black tunnel where sharp and howling phantasmagoria leap out to claw and kill. Here there is at first only fear and the silence of survival, a silence patiently endured until dim light like watered milk is seen—and recorded. This first collection of poems distills a response of joy from loss, a sediment of pure radium from tons of pitchblende fired.
